Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it features an image of Ferdinand of Bayern, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1647 to 1650. This 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 piece of numismatic history, made even more unique by its silver content and the fact that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe.
