Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "E.J." (for Emmerich Joseph) located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail highlights the influence of the Archbishop Emmerich Joseph von Breidbach-Bürresheim, who played a significant role in the coin's design and minting process.
