| Additional information |
John Philip of Lamberg served as Prince-Bishop of Passau from 1689 until his death in 1712, presiding over a diocese that straddled the Habsburg-Bavarian frontier and held unusual secular authority alongside its ecclesiastical role. Passau's right to strike coin was a hard-won imperial privilege, and the small silver issues of this period circulated primarily within the diocese's territorial pockets rather than across any broader regional economy.
The five-year window of this type corresponds with the later phase of the Nine Years' War, when silver flows through southern German ecclesiastical mints were irregular at best.
