Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts John Schweikhardt, the Bishop of Mainz, while the reverse side features the Archbishopric of Mainz's coat of arms, which includes a cross and a lion. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex relationship between the church and state in the German States during the early 17th century.
