| Additional information |
Adam Frederick of Seinsheim held the dual role of Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and, from 1757, Prince-Bishop of Bamberg simultaneously — an unusual concentration of ecclesiastical and secular authority in Franconia. His coinage reflects the financial strain of the Seven Years' War, which had turned much of the Holy Roman Empire into contested territory. Würzburg itself was occupied by Prussian forces in 1758, severely disrupting the bishop's revenues and compelling a pragmatic recalibration of minting output.
The two-year window for this type is narrow enough that survivors in any grade above heavy circulation are genuinely scarce.
