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 hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its gold content, ensuring its authenticity and value. This feature is not commonly found in other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
