Interesting fact
The 5 Ducats coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg, minted in 1759 during the reign of Sigismund von Schrattenbach, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique process called "fleur de coin," which involves striking the coin multiple times to create a detailed, high-relief design. This process was used to create the intricate details and textures on the coin's surface, making it stand out from other coins of its time.
