Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings - Clemens August of Bayern 1755 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's issuance by the Bishopric of Münster and to differentiate it from other coins issued by different German states during the same period.
