Interesting fact

The coat of arms on the coin features a unique combination of symbols, including a bishop's mitre, a crosier, and a shield with the coat of arms of the Bishop of Münster. This combination of symbols reflects the political and religious significance of the Cathedral chapter of Münster during that time period.
