Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Bishopric of Münster, featuring Clemens August of Bayern, has a unique feature - it has a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "Schilling hole." This hole was added to the coin to make it easier for people to thread the coin onto a string or chain, allowing them to wear it as a pendant or amulet. This feature was common in coins of the time period and was believed to bring good luck to the wearer.
