Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau 1593 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a wolf's head on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name. This design was chosen to represent the bishop's name, Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1587 to 1617. The inclusion of the wolf's head on the coin was a nod to the bishop's name and a symbol of his authority.
