Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, featuring Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, was minted in 1794 and made of silver. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe, with the French Revolution happening just a few years prior. The coin's design, featuring an image of the archbishop and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz, reflects the power and influence of the church during this time period.
