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 the northwest of modern-day Germany. The bishopric was facing political and religious conflicts, and the coinage was used as a means of promoting the Catholic faith and solidifying the power of the bishop. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Münster.
