Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer 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 specifically for coins issued during the reign of John Philip of Walderdorff, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1756 to 1763. The inclusion of the Archbishopric's coat of arms on the coin highlights the importance of the Archbishopric's authority and influence in the region during that time.
