Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Francis Arnold of Wolff-Metternich, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1709 to 1711. This coin was minted during his episcopacy, and it is a rare example of a coin that bears the image of a Catholic bishop. Additionally, the coin's design includes the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, which is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
