Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Petermännchen coin is that it was minted during the reign of Francis Louis of Pfalz-Neuburg, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1716 to 1729. During his reign, he implemented various reforms and modernized the administration of the archdiocese, which helped to improve the economy and the lives of the people in the region. The coin itself is made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver, and it features an image of Francis Louis on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Trier on the other.
