Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 1608 cardinal's anniversary of Ernest of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim from 1579 until his death in 1612. The coin's design features an image of Ernest on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Hildesheim on the other.
