Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "A" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Anselm Francis" (Anselm Franz in German), the name of the Archbishop who issued the coin in 1690. This subtle detail highlights the importance of paying attention to the small details in numismatics, as they can reveal interesting historical facts and stories.
