Interesting fact
The 1/12 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn, minted between 1764 and 1766, features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was used during the reign of William Anthony of Asseburg, who was the Bishop of Paderborn from 1764 until his death in 1766. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight of 3.02 grams also make it a notable and collectible piece among numismatists.
