Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features an image of Ferdinand of Bayern, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1638 to 1647. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 17th century.
