| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexander Sigismund of Pfalz-Neuburg was appointed Bishop of Augsburg in 1690, one of several ecclesiastical offices distributed among the prolific Pfalz-Neuburg dynasty through deliberate dynastic policy — his brother Johann Wilhelm was Elector Palatine, and the family had systematically placed members across the Empire's church hierarchy. The Bishopric's coinage of this decade reflects that political positioning: issues were struck with an authority that announced territorial legitimacy as much as anything else.
Forst/Schm#410 is the standard reference for this type, though examples in consistent strike quality are genuinely scarce — the Augsburg episcopal mint was not among the more prolific or technically refined operations of the period.
