Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from Counts of Paar (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin bears an image of a mythical creature known as a "Lindworm," which is a serpent-like creature with a crown on its head and wings on its back. This design was chosen by the Counts of Paar to symbolize their power and authority, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
