| Beschrijving keerzijde | An animated interior scene depicting the Salzburg mint workshop, rendered in fine engraved detail within a colonnaded architectural setting with arched bays. A muscular worker operates the screw press mechanism in the foreground, leaning into the horizontal bar, while a second figure crouches at the base of the press collecting freshly struck planchets; additional coin blanks are scattered on the tiled floor. To the left, a coiled chain and equipment associated with the minting process are depicted, and a furnace or rolling apparatus appears at the right margin. The two-line Latin legend ARTIS MONETARIAE PRAEMIUM ("Prize of the Monetary Art") is inscribed in the exergue below the scene, referencing the prize-medal character of this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach served as Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1753 until his death in December 1771, and 1766 falls squarely in the middle of his tenure — a period when the Salzburg mint was producing a relatively full range of divisional silver. Schrattenbach is perhaps better remembered today as the man who employed Leopold Mozart and, by extension, watched young Wolfgang grow up in the Residenz. He was a notably tolerant patron by the standards of the time.
Zöttl 2960 places this piece within a well-documented sequence, though quarter-thalers in circulated grades from this archbishopric are routinely underrepresented in collection surveys relative to their full-thaler counterparts.
