2 Kreuzers - Andreas Jakob von Dietrichstein

Andreas Jakob von Dietrichstein held the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg for less than three years, dying in office in 1747. His tenure was administrative rather than eventful, and the small silver coinage struck under his name reflects the routine output of the Salzburg mint during the mid-eighteenth century — a mint that had been operating continuously since the medieval period and whose dies for minor denominations changed little between reigns. The Zöttl references distinguish three die varieties across the span of just two years of production.
