6 Pfennig - Frederick of York

正面描述	Crowned cursive monogram of Bishop Frederick of York (Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany) occupying the central field. The elaborate interlaced cipher, composed of the initials F and A beneath a princely crown with arched bands and orb finial, is rendered in a bold calligraphic style typical of German ecclesiastical coinage of the period. No legend appears on this side; the design relies entirely on the monogram as the principal device.

附加信息	Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany — the second son of George III — was elected Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück in 1764 at the age of eleven months, an arrangement permitted under the alternating Protestant succession established by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. He never set foot in the bishopric. Administration fell entirely to a regency council, and this coin was struck two years into that arrangement, bearing the authority of an infant who would later gain notoriety as the ineffectual commander-in-chief lampooned in "The Grand Old Duke of York."
