Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Thaler ND (1620) coin from the City of Cologne (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Cologne, Ferdinand of Bavaria, who ruled the city during that time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "FERDINANDVS • ARCHIEP • COLON •" which stands for "Ferdinand, Archbishop of Cologne". This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a distinct and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
