Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 departure from the traditional design used on other coins of the time, which typically featured only the coat of arms of the ruling dynasty. The inclusion of the Harrach family's coat of arms was a nod to the powerful and influential Harrach family, who played a significant role in the political and economic life of the Bishopric of Salzburg during that time.
