Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Schilling - Francis of Waldeck ND (1535) coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular issue was likely done to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation at the time.
