| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the elaborate quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Salzburg surmounted by a cross and flanked by the crossed processional staves and croziers of the archbishop, with the date 16-68 divided at the lower flanks of the shield. The achievement is rendered in fine relief typical of Salzburg hammered gold klippes of the period. A Latin legend in two concentric bands surrounds the arms, reading the full titulature of Archbishop Maximilian Gandolph von Kuenburg as Archbishop of Salzburg, Apostolic Legate, and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. |

Max Gandolf von Kuenburg, Archbishop of Salzburg from 1668 to 1687, came to power during a period when the prince-archbishops were aggressively reasserting Catholic authority in the region — his tenure would later include the forced expulsion of Protestant miners from the Defereggen Valley in 1684. This 20-ducat piece, struck in his accession year, belongs to a tradition of high-denomination gold multiples that functioned less as currency than as diplomatic gifts and demonstrations of the archbishopric's considerable independent wealth, much of it flowing from the Salzburg salt trade.
At 70 grams of nearly pure gold, these were presentation pieces from the moment of striking. The Zöttl reference places it among the documented rarities of the Salzburg series.
