Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1622 Pfaffenfeind Taler coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bishop's mitre on the reverse side, which is said to represent the bishop's hatred towards the Protestant clergy. This design element was added during a time of religious tension between Catholics and Protestants in the German States, and it serves as a symbol of the bishop's commitment to the Catholic faith.
