One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the end of the plague in the Bishopric of Salzburg in 1577. The coin's design features Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi, the bishop who led the efforts to contain and end the plague, and its silver content and weight are a testament to its value and significance as a commemorative piece.
