todays contribution is this 1661 4 Pfennig (1/2 Albus) issued by the Bishopric of Trier - Karl Kaspar von der Leyen  I've merged the photo's the wrong way round but the reverse shows St. Peter standing with key left and book right.

As for the fellow on the reverse, According to legend, Matthias was killed with an axe, so his iconography often shows him holding a halberd. So I don't intentionally collect Germany, but the most fertile hunting grounds for that theme are German States and Italian States (unless you are into madonnas of which there is no lack in Hungary  ).
