One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it features an image of Lothair Frederick of Metternich Burscheid, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1673 to 1675. This coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz.
