Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Madonna and Child on one side and the coat of arms of Paris von Lodron, the Bishop of Salzburg, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in the region, and its design reflects the influences of both the Catholic Church and the secular ruling powers of the time.
