Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, minted in 1571 under Jakob III of Eltz, features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of the Archbishop's mitre, which is visible on the coin's reverse side. This design was a distinctive feature of coins minted during Eltz's reign and sets them apart from other coins of the time.
