The shield is flanked by a crozier to the left and a sword to the right, representing ecclesiastical and temporal authority. The circular legend surrounding the design reads in Latin abbreviation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand of Bavaria held the see of Münster from 1612 until his death in 1650, simultaneously occupying the archbishopric of Cologne and several other northern German ecclesiastical territories — an accumulation of offices that made him one of the most politically powerful churchmen in the Empire. The 1½ Thaler denomination was never a workhorse of commerce; issues at this weight were produced for presentation, gift-giving among the nobility, or as Schaumünzen with quasi-medallic intent.
1638 falls squarely within the Thirty Years' War, with Westphalia itself badly disrupted by troop movements and occupation. That a piece of this size was struck at all that year reflects the bishop's determination to project fiscal authority under pressure.
