Interesting fact
This coin features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishop of Münster, 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 the 1543 issue was likely done to signify the coin's authenticity and connection to the Bishopric of Münster.
