Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features an image of Ferdinand of Bavaria, who was the Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim from 1612 to 1650. This coin was minted during his reign, and it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a German prince-bishop during the early 17th century.
