Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster, made of silver and issued in 1535 during the reign of Francis of Waldeck, is that it features a unique and intricate design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, which includes a crossed key and a bishop's mitre, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was meant to symbolize the authority and power of the Bishopric, and it was a common feature on coins issued by the Bishopric during this time period.
