| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of Francis Arnold of Metternich, Prince-Bishop of Paderborn and Münster, facing right, depicted in elaborate ecclesiastical vestments richly ornamented with scrollwork and heraldic devices, and wearing a voluminous allonge wig with deeply curled ringlets rendered in fine detail. The effigy occupies the central field in high relief, characteristic of early 18th-century German baroque portraiture. A continuous Latin legend runs along the outer border, reading FRANC. ARNOLD. D. G. EPISC. PADERB. ET. MONASTERIEN., identifying the bishop by name and title. The coin's broad, flat field frames the portrait with a milled inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francis Arnold of Metternich-Winneburg served as Prince-Bishop of Paderborn from 1704 until his death in 1718, a tenure defined largely by the slow recovery of the Westphalian ecclesiastical territories following the War of the Spanish Succession. These thalers, struck across a narrow three-year window, reflect the resumed minting activity of a diocese that had seen severely disrupted coin production during the preceding decade of regional conflict.
The Dav GT II#2510 attribution places this within the broader Grafenthal series documentation — the ".2" variant designation under KM#185 indicates a die differentiation from the earlier issue, likely a modification to the bishop's titulature on the coin.
