Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Münster, minted in 1569 during the reign of John IV of Hoya, features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, which is surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's origin and to show the authority of the Bishopric of Münster in issuing the coin.
