| Additional information |
Anthony Ignatius of Fugger-Glött was appointed Prince-Bishop of Regensburg in 1769, the last member of the famous Augsburg banking dynasty to hold significant ecclesiastical authority in Bavaria. The Fuggers had financed Habsburg emperors and papal campaigns for two centuries before the family's political influence finally contracted to this single episcopal seat.
The Konventionstaler standard — fixed by the Convention of 1753 between Austria and Bavaria — governed this striking, pegging the thaler to exactly ten per Cologne mark of silver. Regensburg's output under Fugger-Glött was modest; the diocese was secularized in 1803 under Napoleonic reorganization, making the entire episcopate's coinage a short-lived final chapter.
