Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the reverse side. This shield is located above the denomination and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
