| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length figure of the crowned Madonna standing on a crescent moon, holding the Christ child on her left arm and a sceptre in her right hand, surrounded by a radiant glory of rays emanating from behind her figure. The date 1760 is divided at the base of the figure on either side of the crescent. Below, a decorative cartouche bears the mint and mark inscription. The legend PATRONA FRANCONIÆ arcs around the upper field, affirming the Virgin's role as patron of Franconia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adam Frederick of Seinsheim became Prince-Bishop of Würzburg in 1755 and simultaneously held the see of Bamberg — a personal union of two Franconian ecclesiastical territories that concentrated unusual administrative and financial authority in one man. The 1760 date falls squarely in the Seven Years' War, when Franconia was repeatedly crossed by Prussian, Austrian, and French forces, and the Reichskreis system that Würzburg nominally operated within was under severe strain. Coinage from this period served partly as a political assertion of princely prerogative at a moment when that prerogative was being tested by military occupation and fiscal disruption.
Davenport's German Talers references this type under GT II, reflecting its later placement in his supplementary volume rather than the main corpus.
