One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used on many coins issued by the Archbishopric during this time period, and it symbolizes the authority and power of the Archbishopric.
