Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Franz Anton von Harrach 1709 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Harrach family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This was a special privilege granted to the Harrach family by the Bishop of Salzburg, and it distinguishes this coin from other coins of the same denomination and era.
