Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bird, known as the "Kuenburg Eagle," which is located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This eagle is a symbol of the Kuenburg family, who were prominent nobles in the region and played a significant role in the history of Salzburg. The inclusion of this image on the coin highlights the close connection between the ruling family and the church, as the Bishopric of Salzburg was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the region.
