Comment
Mintmaster LS - Lorenz Schilling in FrankfurtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of George Frederick of Greiffenclau of Vollrads, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1626 to 1635. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of George Frederick on the coin was meant to promote his image as a powerful and influential leader in the region.
