Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted during the reign of John II of Nassau (1397-1419), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from this time period. This cross is believed to have been added as a symbol of the Archbishopric's connection to the Catholic Church.
