| Additional information |
Joseph von Stubenberg was appointed Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in 1790, inheriting a diocese already under severe pressure from Josephinist reforms that had been stripping ecclesiastical authority across the Habsburg sphere for over a decade. This 1796 thaler was struck just seven years before the Bishopric of Eichstätt ceased to exist entirely — secularized in 1802 under the provisions that would be formalized through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, which dissolved the majority of the ecclesiastical principalities of the Holy Roman Empire. Stubenberg himself died in 1805, having outlived his own sovereignty by three years.
