Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted during the reign of Jakob of Liebenstein (1504-1508), was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for low-denomination coins at the time. This indicates that the Archbishopric was wealthy enough to afford the use of a more valuable metal for its currency, suggesting a strong economy and a high level of financial sophistication in the region.
