Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "M" on the reverse side, which stands for the name of the bishop, Max Gandolf von Kuenburg. This coin was minted during his reign from 1681 to 1686, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Austrian States.
