Hieronymus von Colloredo is remembered today almost entirely through his antagonistic relationship with Mozart — he dismissed the composer from his court service in 1781, the year before this coin was struck, in a dispute that ended with Mozart being literally kicked out by the Archbishop's steward. What the historical record obscures is that Colloredo was in most respects an able Josephinist reformer, restructuring the Salzburg church along rationalist lines that put him at odds with Rome as much as with his own musicians.
The copper kreuzer issues of his reign are well documented in Zöttl and Probszt, with 3342 representing a later emission in the series.
