Interesting fact
The 3 Schilling coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Catholic Church held significant political and economic power in Europe. The coin's design, which features an image of the Virgin Mary, highlights the close relationship between the Church and the state during this period. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin reflects the value placed on this metal during the Renaissance era.
