Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ferdinand of Bayern 1647 from Bishopric of Münster (German States) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Ferdinand, Duke of Münster." This shield was added to the coin's design to signify Ferdinand's role as the Bishop of Münster, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued during his reign.
