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 distinctive feature was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and authenticity, and it has become a sought-after detail among collectors.
