Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Albus coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Leyen family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was a symbol of the issuer, Charles Caspar of the Leyen, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1657 to 1666. The inclusion of this shield on the coin highlights the importance of the Leyen family's influence and power in the region during that time period.
