Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg, featuring George von Kuenburg and minted in 1586, is that it was used as a means of payment for the local salt trade. The coin's value was pegged to the price of salt, which was an essential commodity in the region at the time. This coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
