| Aanvullende informatie |
Alexander Sigismund von der Pfalz-Neuburg became Bishop of Augsburg in 1690 through the same dynastic machinery that placed his family across half the ecclesiastical appointments of the Holy Roman Empire — his father, Philip William of Neuburg, had thirteen surviving children, and the Church absorbed several of them. The 1708 date falls squarely within the War of the Spanish Succession, when Augsburg and its surrounding territory were caught between Bavarian, French, and Habsburg pressures following the Battle of Blenheim four years prior.
Ducats of this type were struck in very small quantities, consistent with episcopal issues of the period, which functioned more as gifts and diplomatic instruments than circulating currency.
