Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Brixen is that it features an image of Caspar Ignaz von Künigl, who was the Prince-Bishop of Brixen from 1702 to 1747. This coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of von Künigl on the coin was meant to promote his reputation as a wise and just ruler.
