Comment
Also referenced as Probszt#1817Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "S" on the reverse side, which stands for "Salzburg". This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and to distinguish it from other coins issued by the Austrian States.
