| Additional information |
Michael von Kuenburg held the archbishopric for just four years before dying in 1560, and his tenure was dominated by the pressures of confessional politics in the immediate aftermath of the Peace of Augsburg. The 1555 settlement forced Catholic ecclesiastical territories to confront Protestant encroachment directly, and Salzburg's mint output during these years reflects an administration concerned with projecting authority as much as facilitating commerce.
The Zöttl reference spans five die varieties across the issue — nos. 464 through 468 — distinctions that matter considerably to specialists working this series.
