| Additional information |
The "Wine Kreuzer" issues of Salzburg were tied directly to a local tax on wine sales, with the archbishop retaining the revenue for specific civic and ecclesiastical purposes rather than general treasury use. Johann Ernst von Thun, who held the archbishopric from 1687, used such earmarked copper coinage as a way to fund infrastructure without drawing on capitular funds — a quiet fiscal maneuver that rankled the chapter for years. The "Lend" designation identifies the specific quarter of Salzburg where the tax was collected and the coins primarily circulated.
