Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne, minted in 1694 during the reign of Joseph Clemens, features an image of the Archbishop himself on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. This coin was made of silver and weighs 29.22 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Archbishopric, and it was used as a means of payment and exchange throughout the region.
