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 coat of arms of the Khuen von Belasi family, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the rule of Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi as the Bishop of Salzburg from 1561 to 1566. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
