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 response to these challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its silver content and detailed design.
