Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "T" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "SALZBURG" and "THUN," respectively. This shield is a nod to the coin's origins and the rule of Johann Ernst von Thun, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1687 to 1709.
