| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborate baroque heraldic composition featuring the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Münster and the personal arms of Maximilian Frederick of Königseck, the shield surmounted by a large princely crown topped with a cross. Two supporters flank the shield: a rampant griffin to the left and a rampant lion to the right, both rendered with fine detail amid scrolling baroque ornamental mantling. The denomination 2/3 appears prominently in a cartouche at the center below the shield, with the fineness legend 20 EINE MARCK FEIN inscribed beneath in two lines. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximilian Frederick of Königsegg-Rothenfels was simultaneously Prince-Bishop of Münster and Archbishop-Elector of Cologne from 1762 until his death in 1784 — a dual appointment of considerable political weight in the fragmented ecclesiastical geography of the Holy Roman Empire. The ⅔ Thaler denomination, equivalent to the Gulden or Florin, dominated trade across northwest Germany during this period precisely because it aligned with the Leipzig monetary convention of 1690, which the region's merchants had never fully abandoned.
Münster's output under Maximilian Frederick was modest and his coinage relatively short-lived as a circulating series.
