Comment
Refs Zöttl 1219 to 1227Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Hohenems family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to commemorate Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1612 to 1619. This addition was a departure from the standard design used on other coins of the time, making it a distinctive and interesting feature for collectors and historians.
