Adalbert II von Walderdorff held the see of Fulda from 1753 until his death in 1759, making his coinage among the shortest-lived issues of any Prince-Bishop in the abbey's long minting history. Fulda's right to strike coin derived from imperial privileges stretching back to the medieval period, but by the mid-eighteenth century the practical output was modest — a handful of denominations serving a territorially small ecclesiastical principality squeezed between Hesse and Würzburg. This 1758 piece was struck just one year before the see passed to Adalbert's successor.
