Comment
Mintmaster Adam Longerich.Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Trier, minted in 1681 during the reign of John Hugo of Orsbeck, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse and rider on the reverse side. This tiny detail has led some numismatists to believe that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a military victory or event, although there is no concrete evidence to support this theory. Despite the mystery surrounding its meaning, the horse and rider motif has become a distinctive feature of this coin and a topic of interest among collectors.
