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 John VII. This subtle detail highlights the importance of the Schönenberg family in the history of the region and adds an extra layer of depth to the coin's symbolism.
