| Additional information |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach served as Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1753 until his death in December 1771, and this thaler falls squarely in the middle of his long tenure — a period notable for its patronage of the arts, including the employment of Leopold Mozart and his young son Wolfgang as court musicians. The Salzburg mint operated under archiepiscopal authority throughout, producing thalers in the tradition of the Holy Roman Empire's monetary conventions while remaining firmly under ecclesiastical rather than Habsburg direct control.
Zöttl numbers 3013–3014 indicate two die combinations within this single type, a routine distinction for the Salzburg series but one that matters to specialists assembling complete die studies.
