Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Fürstenberg family, 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 the 1668 issue was likely a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the importance of the Fürstenberg family's influence in the region.
