Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Münster, which was a region in northwest Germany. The coin was issued by Frederick Christian of Plettenberg, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1697 to 1698. During his reign, the region was facing economic difficulties and political instability, which led to the minting of this coin as a way to address these issues. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Münster.
