Interesting fact

The 6 Stüber coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne, minted between 1765 and 1766, features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "MF" (for Maximilian Frederick) located above the coat of arms on the reverse side. This subtle detail distinguishes it from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
