1 Goldgulden - Markus Sittikus von Hohenems

Markus Sittikus von Hohenems held the archbishopric from 1612 until his death in 1619 — the same year this gulden was struck — making late-dated examples from his reign comparatively scarce. He is better remembered for founding Hellbrunn Palace and its elaborate water gardens than for monetary policy, but Salzburg's gold issues under his tenure benefited from the archbishopric's sustained access to Alpine mining revenues, which had underwritten the mint's gold coinage for generations.
