Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Weißpfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during John II of Baden's reign. This cross was not present on previous issues of the coin, and its addition was likely intended to symbolize the Archbishopric's connection to the Catholic Church.
