Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfenning coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Schönborn family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This was a nod to the powerful Schönborn family, who played a significant role in the history of the region and were known for their influence in politics, religion, and culture.
