Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer "Sortengulden" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "IHS" (Iesus Hominum Salvator, or Jesus Savior of Men) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the Archbishopric of Mainz's allegiance to the Catholic Church.
