Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1534 Wiedertäufer 1¾ Thaler from the City of Münster (German States) is that it features a unique design that reflects the city's history and culture. The coin's obverse side depicts a scene of the "Wiedertäufer," or "Anabaptist Rebellion," which took place in Münster in 1534. The reverse side features the city's coat of arms and the inscription "MONASTERIUM WESTFALICUM" (Westphalian Monastery). This coin is a rare and valuable example of early German numismatics, and its historical significance makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
