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 letter "M" on the reverse side, which stands for the name of the bishop, Max Gandolf von Kuenburg. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
