Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg, minted between 1782 and 1784, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin bears an image of a hand holding a scepter, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the authority and power of the Bishop of Salzburg, who was the ruler of the region at the time. The use of a hand holding a scepter as a symbol of authority was a common motif in medieval and early modern European coinage, and this particular design is a notable example of that tradition.
