Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used on many coins issued by the Archbishopric during this time period, and it symbolizes the authority and power of the Archbishopric. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
