| Additional information |
Markus Sittikus von Hohenems secured the Salzburg archbishopric in 1612 partly through the political maneuvering of his uncle, Cardinal Mark Sittich of Altemps, and the backing of the Habsburg court — a family connection that shaped his entire episcopate. He is remembered more for his architectural ambitions, including the Hellbrunn Palace and its elaborate hydraulic trick fountains, than for his ecclesiastical governance. Gold issues from his reign were struck in comparatively small quantities across four years.
Zöttl numbers 1118–1121 reflect minor die variations within the type rather than distinct emission dates.
