Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Thalers coin from the Bishopric of Brixen is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a skull at the bottom of the reverse side. This macabre detail is believed to symbolize the transience of life and the inevitability of death, serving as a reminder of the fleeting nature of earthly wealth and power.
