Comment
Slg. Reimmann 2718Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ferdinand of Bayern 1620 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 Bishopric of Paderborn, 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 coin highlights the importance of the Bishopric of Paderborn in the region at that time.
