Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "F.G." (for Francis George) located above the coat of arms on the reverse side. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it personalizes the coin and highlights the importance of the Archbishop Francis George of Schönborn, who was a prominent religious and political figure in the region during that time.
