| Additional information |
Paris von Lodron became Archbishop of Salzburg in 1619 and spent the next three decades performing a single remarkable administrative feat: keeping Salzburg out of the Thirty Years' War entirely. While the surrounding Holy Roman Empire tore itself apart, Lodron negotiated, fortified, and neutralized — the city's walls were substantially rebuilt on his orders and largely paid for through coinage revenue. This thaler was struck near the height of that conflict, when Catholic iconography on currency carried explicit political weight.
Zöttl 1505 is a documented variety within a series that saw multiple die combinations across the 1620s.
