Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Passau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "R" in the center, which stands for Raimund Ferdinand of Rabatta, the ruler of the bishopric at the time the coin was minted. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This distinctive feature makes the coin easily recognizable and adds to its historical and numismatic value.
