| Additional information |
Hieronymus von Colloredo was appointed Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg in 1772 following a contentious conclave, and these thalers were struck in the same year he took office — essentially inauguration coinage. He is remembered less for his ecclesiastical reforms than for his treatment of a young court musician he employed: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart served under Colloredo's patronage and found it suffocating, eventually engineering a formal dismissal in 1781 that included, by Mozart's own account, a literal kick from the Archbishop's chief steward.
The Zöttl range spanning six catalog numbers reflects documented die variations across the type, not separate emission years.
