1 Gulden - Max Gandolf von Kuenburg Öttingen, Countermarked

Max Gandolf von Kuenburg, Archbishop of Salzburg from 1668 to 1687, was an aggressive centralizer who used monetary policy as an instrument of territorial control. This piece is a countermarked example — foreign or regional gulden circulating in Salzburg's sphere were officially restamped rather than recalled and recoined, a cheaper administrative solution that asserted archiepiscopal monetary authority without the expense of a full reminting operation.

The Zöttl reference spans four catalog numbers (2088.124–2088.127), reflecting the variety of host coins that received the countermark. Identifying the original issuer beneath the stamp often requires close examination of surviving design elements.
