Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a wolf's head on the reverse side, which is said to represent the coat of arms of the Raitenau family, who were influential figures in the region during the 16th century.
