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 letters "RF" (Rudolf Füchs) etched into it. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the bishop. The inclusion of these initials indicates that the coin was minted during the reign of Rudolf Füchs, who served as the Bishop of Salzburg from 1577 to 1586. This subtle detail provides a fascinating glimpse into the history and provenance of the coin.
