Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats - Johann Ernst von Thun 1690 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Thun family, which was added to the reverse side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular coin has led numismatists to believe that it may have been added to commemorate a specific event or milestone during Johann Ernst von Thun's reign as Bishop of Salzburg.
