Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a wolf's head on the reverse side, which is said to represent the coat of arms of the Raitenau family, who were influential figures in the region during the 17th century.
