| Additional information |
Franz Anton von Harrach served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1709 to 1727, but this small gold issue covers only the first five years of his tenure — the production window almost certainly constrained by the financial pressures of the War of the Spanish Succession, which disrupted trade and coinage across the Holy Roman Empire during exactly these years. Salzburg, despite its ecclesiastical independence, was not insulated from the broader monetary disruptions of the period.
The Zöttl reference spans four consecutive numbers, suggesting at minimum four distinct die pairings across the issue's short run.
