Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "S" on the reverse side, which stands for "Salzburg". This coin was minted during the reign of Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1745 to 1747. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity of the Bishopric of Salzburg with the Holy Roman Empire, and the shield with the letter "S" was a nod to the city of Salzburg, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the region.
