Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats - Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi 1586 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "IHS" (Iesus Hominum Salvator) at the top of the reverse side. This shield is a symbol of the Jesuit order, which was influential in the Bishopric of Salzburg during that time period. The inclusion of this shield on the coin highlights the close relationship between the church and the state in the region.
