Comment
Previously KM #M4Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - Johann Ernst von Thun 1699 coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the death of Johann Ernst von Thun, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1687 until his death in 1709. The coin's design features an image of von Thun on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Salzburg on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
