Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.I.P." (Joseph Ignatius Philip) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the bishop's mitre and crozier. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
