Comment
Some sources place this piece to St. Ludgeri in MünsterInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "Präsenzzeichen" or "presence mark" on the reverse side, which was a small symbol or letter that indicated the presence of a higher authority or official who had verified the coin's authenticity. This feature was used in some German states during the early modern period to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's validity.
