| Additional information |
Raimund Ferdinand von Rabatta served as Prince-Bishop of Passau from 1715 until his death in 1722, and his brief episcopate produced a small, tightly constrained coinage. The quarter thaler series spanning 1716–1717 represents the bulk of his silver output at the Passau mint — a mint already in intermittent operation and heavily dependent on the broader Bavarian monetary framework. Rabatta's tenure fell in the shadow of his more prolific predecessor, Cardinal Johann Philipp von Lamberg, whose decades-long rule had set the pace for Passau's numismatic activity.
