Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1660 Münster Thaler is that it features a unique "siege coinage" design, which was used during a time of economic hardship and war in the German States. The coin's design includes a depiction of a city under siege, with cannons and soldiers surrounding the city walls. This design was meant to symbolize the city's resilience and determination during difficult times.
