Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg, minted between 1555 and 1558, is that it features an image of Michael von Kuenburg, the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg at the time. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and the image of the Prince-Bishop on the coin serves as a symbol of the church's power and influence during this period.
