Comment
FM below the bust (Zöttl#2976) or at arm cut (out picture, Zöttl#2977).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Sigismund von Schrattenbach (type 5) 1757 from Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin features a depiction of the Holy Roman Emperor, Sigismund von Schrattenbach, kneeling in front of the Virgin Mary, signifying the close relationship between the Bishopric of Salzburg and the Holy Roman Empire. This design was only used on coins minted during Sigismund's reign, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
