Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.E.S." (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum) on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Salzburg. This coin was minted during the reign of Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1746 to 1747. The use of this shield symbolizes the close relationship between the Prince-Bishopric and the Catholic Church.
