Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The 1760s saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the development of new economic theories, which had a significant impact on the way coins were minted and used. This coin, with its unique design and silver content, reflects the efforts of the Bishopric of Münster to adapt to these changes and maintain its economic and political power.
