Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from Counts of Trautson (Austrian States) minted in 1618 featuring Paul Sixtus I is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Paul Sixtus I wearing a elaborate crown and a long beard, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of the Counts of Trautson. What's interesting is that the coat of arms features a stylized image of a lion holding a shield with the family's emblem, which is a rare example of heraldic symbolism on a coin from that time period.
