Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Emmerich Joseph of Breidbach-Bürresheim, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1765-1766. This was a period of significant economic growth and development in the region, and the coin reflects this by featuring an image of the Archbishop on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the region's growing wealth and influence during this time.
