| 背面描述 | A detailed panoramic city view of Münster occupies the lower two-thirds of the field, depicting the skyline with numerous church spires and towers rendered in fine engraving. Above the cityscape, in the heavens amid clouds, appears a half-length figure of Saint Paul the Apostle holding a sword, identified by the legend S. PAVL PATRON surrounding him. A three-line inscription in the exergue area reads MONAST WESTPH / AD OBED REDVC / TVM, commemorating the return of Westphalian Münster to obedience. The circular peripheral legend names the bishop-prince Christoph Bernhard and the year MDCLXI, all within a milled border. |

| 附加信息 |
Christoph Bernhard von Galen, prince-bishop of Münster from 1650 until his death in 1678, was one of the more militarily aggressive ecclesiastical rulers of the seventeenth century — a man who besieged his own cathedral city to consolidate power and later dragged Münster into war with the Dutch Republic in 1665. The 1661 date places this double thaler early in his consolidation phase, before the foreign adventures, when he was still busy suppressing Münster's civic opposition and rebuilding episcopal authority eroded during the Thirty Years' War.
Double thalers of this period from Münster are genuinely scarce survivors; the Bishopric's minting activity was intermittent and politically driven rather than commercially systematic.
