Markus Sittikus von Hohenems was appointed Archbishop of Salzburg in 1612 largely through the influence of his uncle, Cardinal Aldobrandini, a reminder of how thoroughly Roman patronage networks shaped the German ecclesiastical princes of the Counter-Reformation. His reign was architecturally ambitious — Hellbrunn Palace was built on his orders — and fiscally demanding enough to require active use of even the smallest denominations.

The Zöttl range 1219–1227 indicates at least nine documented die variants across the issue, typical of small silver struck from hand-cut dies over a multi-year span.
