Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Conventionsthaler 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 adds an extra layer of personalization to the coin, highlighting the importance of the Archbishop and his influence in the region during that time period.
