The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg, minted in 1761 during the reign of Sigismund von Schrattenbach, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the emblem of the Bishopric of Salzburg, flanked by two lions, symbolizing the authority and power of the bishop. This design was specifically used during von Schrattenbach's rule and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
