Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, featuring Emmerich Joseph of Breidbach-Bürresheim, has a unique feature - it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes it stand out is that the copper used in its production was sourced from the nearby town of Ems, which was known for its copper mines. This fact highlights the coin's connection to the local economy and the importance of regional resources in the production of currency during that era.
