Reference Probszt#48Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the bishopric on one side, and the inscription "SALZBURG" on the other. This design was used for coins minted during the reign of Johann II von Reisberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1429 to 1441. The use of a specific design for coins minted during a particular reign was a common practice in the Middle Ages, and it helped to distinguish the coins from those minted during other periods.
