Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted during the reign of Theodoric II of Isenburg (1475-1482), is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Theodoric II in a Gothic-style cloak, while the reverse side features a Renaissance-style shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
