Comment

The circumscription begins and ends with a 6-pointed star. This is an important distinguishing feature from the similar coins KM 300, KM 315 and KM 331.

Interesting fact

The coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin features a double-headed eagle, which symbolizes the unity of the two bishoprics of Münster and Paderborn. This design was used until the late 18th century and is a distinctive feature of coins from this region.
