| Aanvullende informatie |
John Eucharius Schenk of Castell held the see of Eichstätt from 1685 until his death in 1697, a tenure notable more for administrative consolidation than for political drama. Eichstätt was among the smaller ecclesiastical territories of the Holy Roman Empire, and its thalers were produced in modest quantities — episcopal coinage from this see rarely circulated beyond the immediate region, making survivors largely cabinet pieces rather than genuine trade coins.
The Davenport reference places this squarely within the broader corpus of late seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical thalers, a category that saw a sharp decline in new issues after 1700 as smaller bishoprics lost effective minting authority.
