Comment
Considered by Zöttl as the same type as KM#73 (kipper pfennig), but separated by Probszt (#1379).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Zweier - Paris von Lodron 1620 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "P" in the center, which represents the mint master's initial, Paris von Lodron. This coin is also notable for its small weight of 0.3 grams, which was a common characteristic of coins made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, during that time period.
