Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique "mule" design, with the obverse (front) side bearing the image of Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, while the reverse (back) side features the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz. This combination of two different designs on a single coin is known as a "mule" and is considered a rare and interesting variation in numismatics.
