| Additional information |
Adam Frederick of Seinsheim held the sees of both Würzburg and Bamberg simultaneously from 1757, one of the last prince-bishops to exercise that kind of dual temporal authority in Franconia. These 10 Kreuzer pieces fall squarely within the post-Seven Years' War period, when the Franconian Kreis was slowly reconstituting its finances after years of French and Prussian occupation had gutted regional coinage supplies.
The Helmschrot reference places this type firmly within the Würzburg episcopal series, distinct from the parallel Bamberg issues struck under the same authority.
