Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "R" on the reverse side, which stands for Raimund Ferdinand of Rabatta, the ruler of the bishopric at the time the coin was minted. This shield is not found on other coins from the same series, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
