| Additional information |
Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1560 to 1586, navigating the diocese through the turbulent pressures of the Counter-Reformation. His tenure saw aggressive efforts to suppress Lutheranism in the region — Protestant sympathizers were expelled and clergy brought to heel — making these gold issues as much political instruments as monetary ones. Salzburg's archbishops held the rare status of Prince-Archbishops, striking coin by imperial privilege, a right jealously maintained throughout this period.
The Zöttl reference spans eight catalog numbers for this type, reflecting documented die variation across the issue years.
