1 Pfennig - Ferdinand

Ferdinand III, formerly Grand Duke of Tuscany, received Salzburg as compensation under the 1803 Reichsdeputationshauptschluss — the sweeping territorial reorganization that dissolved over a hundred ecclesiastical principalities across the Holy Roman Empire. Salzburg itself had only just been secularized from the Prince-Archbishopric. These copper pfennigs were struck during Ferdinand's brief tenure before Napoleon's reorganization of 1805 handed the territory to Austria, ending any independent Salzburg coinage permanently.
