| Additional information |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach governed Salzburg from 1753 until his death in 1771, and these ducats fall squarely within the period when his court was sustaining the young Mozart family — Leopold Mozart served as court composer under his patronage. The archbishopric maintained its own gold coinage as a matter of ecclesiastical privilege, one it exercised with notable consistency across Schrattenbach's tenure.
The two Zöttl numbers indicate distinct die pairings across the 1762–1763 production window, a granularity typical of Salzburg ducat cataloguing where annual die changes were routine and well-documented.
