Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Theodore of Fürstenberg 1611 coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Fürstenberg family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular issue was likely done to signify the influence and power of the Fürstenberg family in the region at the time.
