Comment

Adalbert II was twice bishop of Salzburg, from 1168 and 1177 and from 1183 and 1200.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Adalbert III von Böhmen, who was the Bishop of Salzburg from 1168 to 1200. This coin was minted during his episcopacy, and it is made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The fact that it has been preserved and is still available for collectors today is a testament to the enduring legacy of Adalbert III and the importance of the Bishopric of Salzburg in the history of Europe.
