Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1779 Sede Vacante 2 Thalers coin from the Bishopric of Brixen is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a skull and crossbones on the reverse side, which is believed to symbolize the transience of human life and the fleeting nature of earthly wealth.
