| Additional information |
George Charles of Fechenbach became Prince-Bishop of Würzburg in 1795, almost immediately inheriting a diocese in crisis. French Revolutionary forces under Jourdan crossed the Rhine in 1796, and Würzburg found itself directly in the path of the campaign. This issue was struck that same year — coinage from a polity already counting its days as a sovereign ecclesiastical territory. The Bishopric was secularized in 1803 under the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, making the entire Fechenbach series exceptionally brief.
The Konventionskreuzer standard, fixed by the Convention of 1753, governed South German silver coinage through the end of the Holy Roman Empire.
