Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique depiction of Francis of Waldeck, the Bishop of Münster, on its obverse side. The coin was minted during his reign from 1541 to 1553, and it shows him wearing a elaborate mitre and holding a crosier, symbolizing his religious authority. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
