Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted in 1676 during the reign of Damian Hartard von der Leyen, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a cross and a lion, which represents the union of the Mainz diocese and the House of Leyen, the ruling family of the region at the time. This coat of arms is not found on any other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
