Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Münster, which was a region in northwest Germany. The bishopric was facing financial difficulties and political instability, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the government to generate revenue and maintain power. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Münster during this time.
