| Additional information |
Hieronymus von Colloredo is better remembered as Mozart's employer and antagonist than as a monetary authority, but he was both. His tenure as Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg ended abruptly when Napoleon's reorganization of German ecclesiastical territories — formalized through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 — dissolved the Prince-Archbishopric entirely. This 1802 issue is among the last copper struck under his authority, minted just months before secularization stripped Salzburg of its millennium-old status as an independent ecclesiastical state.
