Had this group of small silver coins (~0.65g and ~13mm each) for years and while I could clearly make out that they had to be from the Archbishopric of Trier (the ancient Treveri) did not have access to attribution material.

A few days ago I found http://www.numismatas.com/Forum/Pdf...%20Trier.pdf
and yes, there they are on page 21.

Pfennig from Archbishop Arnold von Isenburg (1242-1259)

The Pfennig in the German States was like the English Penny derived from the Denar, Denaro or similar names.

So from the German Empire I assume with the currency reform in 1875. Plenty earlier ones available from the various German states.
But don't let me forget to say a welcome - haven't seen you on this forum before. Hope you get tempted more often into this forum.

those are nice as well med, I couldn't figure out what the reverse was...so it's a "church building" according to that pdf.

Here a picture of a church facade which is similar to the one which inspired the reverse design:
