Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted in 1795 during the reign of Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, features an image of the Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, on its reverse side. This was a unique design choice for a coin issued by a religious authority, as Minerva was not a traditional Christian symbol. It suggests that the Archbishopric of Mainz was interested in highlighting the importance of reason and wisdom, as well as religion, in the governance of their territory.
