Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Paris von Lodron 1653 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "P" in the center, which stands for "Paris von Lodron," the name of the bishop who issued the coin. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "SALZBURG BISCHOF CHRISTIAN" (Bishop Christian of Salzburg). This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
