Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the consecration of Paris von Lodron as the Bishop of Salzburg in 1628. The coin's design features an image of von Lodron on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Salzburg on the other. The use of gold and the relatively large weight of 28 grams make it a valuable and collectible coin among numismatists.
