Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "IHS" (Iesus Hominum Salvator, or Jesus Savior of Men) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the Archbishop's support for the Counter-Reformation movement, which aimed to reform the Catholic Church and promote its values. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the close relationship between the Church and the state during this time period.
