| Additional information |
Further Austria — the scattered Habsburg territories in southwestern Germany and northwestern Switzerland — was dissolved by Napoleon in 1805 following the Treaty of Pressburg, which ceded these lands to Baden, Württemberg, and Bavaria. This issue, struck across just two years, was effectively cut short by that settlement. Coins already in circulation simply became the problem of whichever new authority absorbed the territory.
