Comment
Mintmaster MF - Michael FedererInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Passau, minted in 1694 during the reign of John Philip of Lamberg, features an unusual design element - a small image of a shield with the Lamberg family coat of arms, located above the primary image of the bishop's mitre and crozier. This subtle detail highlights the influence of the Lamberg family, who were powerful nobles in the region and played a significant role in the coin's design and minting process.
