Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The war had a profound impact on the German States, including the Bishopric of Münster, where this coin was minted. Despite the challenges of war, the minting of coins continued, and this coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Münster during that time.
