Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bird, known as the "Salzburg Eagle," on the reverse side. This eagle is a symbol of the city of Salzburg and was included on many coins minted during this time period. It's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era and denomination.
