Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Counts of Schönenberg, the ruling family of the region, located above the main image of St. John the Baptist. This small detail highlights the importance of the Schönenberg family in the history of the region and their influence on the coin's design.
