| Additional information |
Hieronymus von Colloredo is remembered less for his coinage than for his bitter dispute with the Colloredo family's most famous employee — Mozart served as court musician under him until a humiliating 1781 dismissal that reportedly ended with a literal kick from the Archbishop's secretary. By 1802, Colloredo's grip on Salzburg was loosening fast; Napoleon's reorganization of German ecclesiastical territories under the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the following year would abolish the Archbishopric as a sovereign issuing authority entirely, making this among the final copper struck under his name.
