Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Heller coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features an image of Ernst von Bayern, who was the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1541 to 1554. This coin was minted during his reign and features his portrait on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Salzburg. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Austrian States.
