Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of John VII of Schönenberg, the Archbishop of Trier, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and foliage. This design was meant to symbolize the Archbishop's connection to the natural world and his role as a spiritual leader. The coin's design was created by a skilled engraver, and it is considered a notable example of Renaissance-era coinage art.
