Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¾ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the German States, including the Bishopric of Münster, and the coin's minting can be seen as a reflection of the economic and political instability of the time. Despite the challenges, the coin's production continued, and it remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
