1 Ducat - Franz Anton von Harrach

Franz Anton von Harrach ruled Salzburg from 1709 until his death in 1727, navigating the archbishopric through the turbulent aftermath of the War of the Spanish Succession while simultaneously funding an ambitious building program that brought late Baroque architecture to the city in force. His ducats were struck to the traditional .986 fine gold standard that Salzburg had maintained for over a century — a deliberate signal of monetary reliability at a moment when confidence in coinage across the Holy Roman Empire was badly eroded by wartime debasements elsewhere.

The Zöttl reference spans thirteen varieties across this reign, distinguished primarily by die differences in the dating and minor heraldic details.
