Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Sigismund von Schrattenbach 1754 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 Bishopric of Salzburg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the 3 Kreuzers coin, and its inclusion on this particular coin was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the coin's origin and authenticity.
