Interesting fact
The 5 Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz, featuring Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal, was minted in 1795 and made of silver. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe, with the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars having a significant impact on the continent. Despite these challenges, the Archbishopric of Mainz continued to mint coins, such as this 5 Kreuzer piece, which not only served as a means of currency but also as a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
