Comment
Variants without M below the bust, with "SCHIEDEMÜNZ" on reverse, and "V SALZBURG" on obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "T" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Salzburg" and "Tuscany" respectively. This indicates that the coin was minted specifically for use in the Bishopric of Salzburg, which was a small territory within the Austrian States. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European currency.
