Comment
The 1758 coin is included with this type in KM, Schön DM, and Craig, but the style of the arms is different so it is in a separate Numista listing.Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the City of Münster (German States) made of Copper was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin features the image of the Münster's coat of arms, which includes a crescent moon and a star, symbolizing the city's connection to the Islamic world. This is a unique feature among European coins of that time, reflecting the city's history of trade and cultural exchange with the Middle East.
