Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler - Sede Vacante 1801 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it was minted during a time of political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1801, just a few years after the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the political landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of religious conflict, as the Bishopric of Münster was a Catholic diocese in a predominantly Protestant region. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its unique design and historical significance.
