| Aanvullende informatie |
Caspar Ignaz von Künigl served as Prince-Bishop of Brixen from 1703 until his death in 1747, making this 1745 ducat one of the final issues of a remarkably long episcopate. Brixen — the smallest of the Tyrolean ecclesiastical principalities — retained minting rights within the Holy Roman Empire, though output was modest and largely ceremonial by the mid-eighteenth century.
The Fugger banking dynasty had deep historical ties to Tyrolean ecclesiastical finance, and gold ducats from Brixen during this period circulated primarily among regional nobility and church administration rather than in common trade.
