Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, which was minted during the reign of John Philip of Walderdorff from 1757 to 1762, features an image of the Archbishop on one side and the coat of arms of Trier on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a depiction of a silver cross, which was a symbol of the Archbishopric and represented the authority of the Archbishop. This coin was made of copper and weighed 1 gram, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its size, it's a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the German States and the history of currency.
