⅙ Thaler - Adalbert II of Walderdorff

Adalbert II von Walderdorff served as Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1753 until his death in 1759, one of the shortest episcopates in the see's history. His tenure coincided almost exactly with the Seven Years' War, which brought Hessian and French forces repeatedly through the Fulda region — the abbey's finances were severely strained by military requisitions and occupation costs, making coin production during these years administratively fraught.

Fulda's fractional thaler issues of this period are notably scarce relative to the larger denominations, likely reflecting disrupted minting schedules rather than low authorized mintage.
