Interesting fact
The 1½ Thaler (Wiedertäufer) coin from the City of Münster (German States) made of Silver weighing 43.09 g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during a time of religious turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Protestant Reformation. The coin features an image of a group of Protestant reformers, known as the "Wiedertäufer," who were persecuted for their beliefs. The coin's design serves as a symbol of religious freedom and tolerance, and its minting was a bold statement by the City of Münster, which was a stronghold of the Protestant movement.
