Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Prussia, which was not typically included on coins from this region. This suggests that the coin may have been minted during a time of political alliance or collaboration between the Archbishopric and Prussia.
