| Additional information |
Andreas Jakob von Dietrichstein served as Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1747 until his death in 1753, a tenure too brief and politically unremarkable to leave much imprint — except in silver. The Salzburg mint was prolific under the archbishops, and the Madonna thaler series had been a fixture of the see's coinage since the seventeenth century, rooted in the archbishopric's fierce Counter-Reformation identity. Dietrichstein's issues are among the scarcer in the sequence simply because he ruled for six years.
Zöttl 2860 is the primary reference for this type; collectors working the Salzburg series treat Zöttl as authoritative over KM for die-level distinctions.
