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 letters "S" and "L" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "SALZBURG" and "Lodron," respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's origin and to distinguish it from other coins circulating in the region at the time.
