Comment
Slight differences in legend for 1563 (APO SE LEG on obverse and EPS on reverse).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Khuen von Belasi family, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the rule of Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi as the Bishop of Salzburg from 1561 to 1565. This small shield is not found on other coins from the same series, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
