Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings - Sede Vacante 1719 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1719, just a few years after the end of the Great Northern War, which had devastated much of Northern Europe, including Germany. Additionally, the coin was minted during the papacy of Pope Clement XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its governance. The coin's design, which features an image of the bishop's mitre and crozier, symbolizes the power and authority of the Bishopric of Münster during this time.
