Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Christian, the Bishop of Münster, on one side, and an image of the Münster Cathedral on the other. The Münster Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Paul, is a beautiful Gothic church that was built in the 13th century and is still standing today. It's a notable landmark in Münster, Germany, and it's interesting to see it featured on this coin from the 18th century.
