Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Ferdinand, Duke of Bayern" and "Münster" respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by Ferdinand, who was the Bishop of Münster at the time. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the history and significance of the coin.
