Interesting fact
The 1 Albus coin from the Archbishopric of Trier featuring Philip Christopher of Sötern has a unique feature - it has a crescent moon shape on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Archbishopric of Trier. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) having recently ended, and the coin's design may have been influenced by the political and religious tensions of the time.
