1 Thaler - Sigismund von Schrattenbach type 12

Sigismund von Schrattenbach ruled the Archbishopric of Salzburg from 1753 until his death in December 1771, and is remembered today primarily as the employer — and eventual antagonist — of Leopold Mozart. It was Schrattenbach who subsidized the young Wolfgang's early travels to Vienna and Italy, a patronage that kept the Mozart family financially viable through the 1760s. The relationship soured only under his successor.

The "type 12" designation within the Zöttl sequence reflects die variation across what was a prolific mint output in Salzburg's final decades of independent ecclesiastical coinage. Dav EC III#1261 places this piece within the broader European thaler tradition that the Salzburg mint maintained with notable consistency through successive archbishops.
