| Additional information |
Franz Anton von Harrach governed Salzburg from 1709 until his death in 1727, presiding over a diocese still recovering from the economic disruption of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Salzburg mint produced fractional silver in quantity during his tenure precisely because small-denomination coinage had been driven out of circulation by wartime hoarding and currency manipulation across the Holy Roman Empire.
The Zöttl reference spanning seventeen numbers across this type reflects genuine die variation across nearly two decades of production — not a single homogeneous issue.
