| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Kempten was among the oldest imperial abbeys in the Holy Roman Empire, its abbots holding the rank of Imperial Prince with full secular authority over their territory — a status that carried the explicit right to strike coinage. Engelbert of Sirgenstein served as Prince-Abbot from 1730 until his death in 1760, a tenure long enough to produce a coherent series of issues but historically overshadowed by the abbey's forced secularization under Bavarian pressure in 1803.
Thalers of this type are infrequently encountered, reflecting the modest minting output of a small ecclesiastical principality operating well into the decline of imperial abbatial power.
