Comment
SPS instead of EPS on obverse, as on 1633 coin shown by Zöttl #1543.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Madonna and Child on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Salzburg on the other, which was a common design element for coins issued by the Bishopric during this time period.
