Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a wolf's head on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name "Wolf Dietrich." This design was chosen to represent the bishop's name, Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who ruled the Bishopric of Salzburg during the time the coin was minted.
