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 image of a horse and rider on the reverse side, which was added to commemorate the victory of the Paderborn cavalry over the Swedish army during the Great Northern War.
