Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Lothair of Metternich 1617 coin from the Archbishopric of Trier (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "L" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for Lothair of Metternich, the Archbishop of Trier who ruled from 1604 to 1623. This coin was minted during his reign and is a rare example of a coin that bears the name of a specific ruler.
