Comment
Two die varieties of this type are known (Brixen I# 42 and 43).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1614 Charles the Posthumous Thaler from the Bishopric of Brixen is that it features a unique plain mozzetta design, which sets it apart from other coins of the same era. The mozzetta is a small, pointed hat that was worn by Catholic bishops during formal events, and its inclusion on the coin's design reflects the strong religious influence of the time. This particular coin is also made of silver and weighs 28.5 grams, making it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists.
