Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers - Johann Ernst von Thun 1692 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Thun family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on this particular coin was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the importance of the Thun family and their connection to the Bishopric of Salzburg.
