Interesting fact

The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, minted in 1765 during the reign of Emmerich Joseph of Breidbach-Bürresheim, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a bishop's mitre on the reverse side, which symbolizes the ecclesiastical authority of the Archbishopric.
