Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "A.F." (Anselm Francis) on the reverse side, which was a personal touch added by the archbishop himself. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of the Roman Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire.
