Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzers coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used to signify the coin's issuance by the Archbishopric and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the German States at the time.
