Comment
Type 1 of Zöttl.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Zweier coin is that it was minted during the reign of Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, who was the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1586 to 1598. During his tenure, he implemented various reforms and modernized the administration of the bishopric, which helped to increase the prosperity of the region. The coin itself is a testament to the economic and cultural development of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
