Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "J.I.P." (for Joseph Ignatius Philip) located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it personalizes the coin to the ruler who issued it.
