Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg, minted in 1694 during the reign of Alexander Sigismund of Pfalz-Neuburg, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of the Augsburg Cathedral on the reverse side. This image was included to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric and to emphasize the religious significance of the currency.
