Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers - Sigismund von Schrattenbach 1753 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 Bishopric of Salzburg, 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 issue was likely done to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
