Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Saint Mary, the patron saint of the diocese, on one side, and the coat of arms of the bishop, Francis Arnold of Wolff-Metternich, on the other. This coin was minted in 1710 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States during that time.
