Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer 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 crown on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it highlights the importance of the Archbishop Emmerich Joseph in the region during that time period.
