Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer 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 Anselm Francis of Ingelheim, who ruled from 1693 to 1694. This coin is a rare example of a coin that bears the name of a ruler who had a short reign, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
