Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1761 Sede Vacante Reichsthaler from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bishop's mitre, which is located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail signifies the coin's connection to the Bishopric of Münster and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
