1 Kreutzer - Hieronymus von Colloredo

Hieronymus von Colloredo is remembered as much for his employer-employee disputes as for his administration of Salzburg — most notoriously his protracted conflict with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whom he dismissed in 1781 after years of mutual contempt. These small copper kreutzers were struck during the final troubled decade of his rule, before Napoleon's campaigns effectively ended the prince-archbishops' secular authority over Salzburg for good. Colloredo fled in 1800 and never returned.
