Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Hieronymus von Colloredo, who was the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1774 to 1786. During his tenure, he implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the bishopric and improving the lives of its citizens, including the introduction of a new currency system. This coin, the 20 Kreuzers, was part of that system and was widely used throughout the region. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
