Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design, with a crowned eagle on the obverse (front) side and a shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of Conrad II of Weinsberg, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1390 to 1396. The use of a crowned eagle on the coin may have symbolized the power and authority of the Archbishopric, while the shield with the coat of arms represented the territorial jurisdiction of the Archbishopric. The fact that the coin was made of silver also speaks to the value and importance of the coin during that time period.
