@pepactonius, I had to look REALLY long and hard to understand why one of those 1/12 thaler coins is Bishopric of Paderborn (yesterday) and the other is Munster (today).
The coats of arms are nearly identical obverse (only a couple of portions are flipped in the upper left and lower right corners), and the legends are nearly the same, except the Paderborn coin has "EP PAD&M" (Bishop of Paderborn & Munster) from 9:00-10:00 reverse, and the Munster coin has "EP MOETP"
(Bishop of Munster & Paderborn). Reverse, only the mintmasters initials are different.
SO I guess one bishop presided over both places (same coat of arms), but each minted coins, with different mintmasters but a shared design, except for the precedence of one place over the other in the obverse legends?
(WAY into the weeds
)
