Comment
There is variability on the shield, the wreath, and the lettering.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 hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint to signify the coin's value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin apart from other coins of similar value. This design feature is known as a "Schlag" and is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Bishopric of Salzburg.
