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 Mainz, reflects the political and religious influences of the time.
