Comment
Type 6 of Zöttl, with value. Krause pools it with a type without value.Interesting fact
The Madonna-Paris von Lodron 1626-1627 ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is interesting because it features an image of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishop of Salzburg on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Counter-Reformation and the Baroque period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its value and historical significance.
