| Additional information |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach ruled Salzburg from 1753 until his death in 1771, and his tenure coincided almost exactly with the years Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spent growing up in the city. Schrattenbach was the Mozart family's principal patron — it was under his archiepiscopal authority that Leopold Mozart held his court position, and the archbishop actively supported the young Wolfgang's early compositional career and travel abroad.
By 1765, Salzburg's mint was well into a long tradition of high-quality thaler production that kept the archbishopric's coinage circulating well beyond its own borders.
