Interesting fact

The 3 Schilling coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster was made of copper, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bishop's mitre, which was the symbol of the Cathedral chapter of Münster. This design element was not found on other coins from the same time period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
