2 Pfennig - Hieronymus von Colloredo

Hieronymus von Colloredo is better remembered as Mozart's employer — and the archbishop who famously dismissed him with what contemporaries described as a kick — than as a monetary authority. This 1802 copper issue came near the end of his reign; Napoleon's reorganization of German ecclesiastical territories under the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 would dissolve the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg entirely the following year, ending over a millennium of ecclesiastical rule. Colloredo fled, never returned, and died in Vienna in 1812.
