Interesting fact

The 4 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Passau, minted in 1711 during the reign of John Philip of Lamberg, is notable for its unique design. The coin features a depiction of the crucified Christ on one side, surrounded by the inscription "IHS NAZARENUS REX IUDaeORVM" (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews), while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Passau and the inscription "S. R. I. PASSBAVIENSIS" (Sacred Roman Imperial Passau). This coin was minted during a time when the Bishopric of Passau was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it reflects the religious and political influences of the era.
