Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Zweier coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ernst von Bayern, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1540 to 1554. During his reign, he implemented various reforms and modernized the administration of the bishopric, which helped to promote economic growth and stability in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 0.6 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
