| Additional information |
Leonhard von Keutschach, Archbishop of Salzburg from 1495 until his death in 1519, was among the earliest ecclesiastical rulers to embrace the large silver coinage that would define Central European minting in the sixteenth century. His Guldiner series, begun around 1500, predates many imperial issues and reflects Salzburg's enormous wealth from the Tyrolean silver trade passing through the archbishopric's territory. The quarter denomination was a practical concession to everyday commerce — the full Guldiner was simply too valuable for routine transactions.
Zöttl 55 is a scarce variety within the series.
