Aanvullende informatie	By 1804, the Bishopric of Salzburg was already in its death throes as a sovereign ecclesiastical state. Ferdinand III — formerly Grand Duke of Tuscany, displaced by Napoleon's reorganization of Italy — had been installed as ruler of Salzburg in 1803 as compensation for Habsburg territorial losses under the Treaty of Lunéville. He struck coins, but barely had time to establish a functioning administration before Napoleon's further reorganizations extinguished the Bishopric entirely in 1805, absorbing it into the Austrian Empire. This pfennig is among the last coins ever struck for Salzburg as an independent entity.
