| Beschrijving keerzijde | Quartered heraldic shield displaying the combined arms of Würzburg and Henneberg, with a smaller central escutcheon bearing the arms of Fulda — a plain cross on a divided field. The upper two quarters and lower two quarters display the characteristic Henneberg hen devices and the rakes of Würzburg respectively, set within an ornate arrangement. The Fulda inescutcheon is prominently placed at the center. A large Gothic letter 'F' for Fulda appears in the upper field above the shield. The surrounding Latin legend FIAT VOLVNTAS DOMINI PERPETVO, meaning 'May the will of the Lord endure forever,' encircles the composition within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John III of Henneberg served as Prince-Abbot of Fulda from 1529 until his death in 1541, a tenure defined largely by the pressures of the Reformation tearing through central Germany. Fulda, one of the oldest and most politically significant Benedictine abbeys in the Holy Roman Empire, resisted Protestant incursions more stubbornly than most ecclesiastical territories — but the financial and administrative strain was considerable, and coinage from this period reflects an institution asserting its imperial immediacy under duress.
The Thaler series from Fulda under John III is small. MB#11 places this among a tight group of large silver issues, none struck in quantity.
