Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1772 Sede Vacante Ducat from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting the coat of arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Salzburg surrounded by a wreath, which was only used during the brief period of Sede Vacante (papal interregnum) between 1771 and 1773. This makes it a distinctive and rare coin among collectors.
