Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a representation of the "Four Evangelists" - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was a common motif in European coinage during the 18th century and was meant to symbolize the spread of Christianity. The use of the Four Evangelists on the coin's reverse was a deliberate choice made by the Bishopric of Salzburg to emphasize the importance of religion in the region.
