Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Asseburg family, which was added to the coin's reverse side in 1766. This shield was a nod to the influential Asseburg family, who played a significant role in the region's politics and economy during that time.
