Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Thun family, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This was a nod to the powerful Thun family, who played a significant role in the history of Salzburg and were known for their influence in politics, religion, and commerce. The inclusion of their coat of arms on the coin symbolized their connection to the region and added an extra layer of authenticity to the coin.
