Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1534 Wiedertäufer 2 Thalers coin from the City of Münster (German States) is that it was minted during a time of religious turmoil in Europe. The coin features an image of a group of Protestant reformers, known as the Wiedertäufer, who were persecuted for their beliefs. The coin's minting was likely a statement of support for the reformers and their cause, and it serves as a tangible reminder of the religious conflicts that shaped Europe's history.
