| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the three-towered arms of Würzburg (three wavy-topped battlements), set within a beaded inner circle. A Gothic legend in uncial characters encircles the shield in the outer field, reading the bishop's name and title. The design is characteristic of late medieval German episcopal coinage, struck by the hammer technique with an irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rudolph II von Scherenberg became Bishop of Würzburg in 1466 at roughly seventy years of age, inheriting a see burdened with catastrophic debt accumulated by his predecessors. His three-decade episcopate was largely consumed by systematic debt reduction — a financial reconstruction so disciplined it became noted among German ecclesiastical administrations of the period. Coinage issued under his authority reflects this long tenure rather than any single political event.
The Ehwald reference places this among the documented schilling issues attributable to his mint at Würzburg, active across the full span of his reign until his death in 1495 at approximately ninety-nine years of age.
