Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Counts of Leyen, which was added to the reverse side of the coin during John VI's reign. This shield was not present on earlier coins issued by the Archbishopric of Trier, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
