Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1787 until his death in 1802. The coin was minted in 1796, during his tenure as Archbishop, and it is made of silver. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during this time period.
