1/4 Thaler - Leonhard von Keutschach

Leonhard von Keutschach ruled Salzburg from 1495 until his death in 1519, and his tenure was marked by aggressive assertion of archiepiscopal authority — he expelled the burghers of Salzburg from the city in 1511 after a prolonged dispute over civic privileges, an act that left the city half-empty for years. The quarter thaler denomination itself was still finding its footing in 1513, introduced in the wake of the larger thaler coinage that had only emerged from Tyrolean and Salzburg mints in the preceding decades.

Zöttl 115 is among the earlier documented fractional thaler issues from the Salzburg mint under Keutschach.
