Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ferdinand of Bayern ND (1647) coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) 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 Bavaria" and "Münster, Bishopric of". This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Bishopric of Münster, which was a unique political entity at the time.
