Additional information

Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi held the archbishopric for an unusually long 26 years, and his thalers were struck across multiple die marriages throughout that span. Zöttl 617 sits within a well-documented sequence, but date placement and minor legend variants make attributing individual pieces a more involved exercise than the single catalog number suggests.

Khuen von Belasi was a staunch defender of Catholicism during the early decades of the Counter-Reformation, expelling Protestant citizens from Salzburg — a policy that would be echoed far more brutally by his successors a century later.
