Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1656-1657 Francis William of Wartenberg 1/14 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück (German States) is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal line dividing it into two sections, with the upper section bearing a cross and the lower section featuring a pair of lions. This coat of arms is a representation of the Wartenberg family's lineage and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
