Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the bishopric of Salzburg. This design was specifically chosen to represent the bishopric's coat of arms and highlights the importance of religion and spirituality in the region during that time period.
