| Additional information |
Sigismund von Schrattenbach ruled the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg from 1753 until his death in 1771, presiding over a court that famously employed Leopold Mozart as vice-Kapellmeister. These kreuzers were struck across three consecutive years during the early consolidation of his reign, a period when Salzburg was navigating the political pressures of the War of Austrian Succession's aftermath and Maria Theresa's ongoing monetary reforms in the Habsburg sphere. The Salzburg mint at this time operated with considerable autonomy, maintaining its own standards rather than conforming to Vienna's preferred conventions.
Zöttl's reference remains the authoritative catalog for Salzburg ecclesiastical coinage, and the three-year production window for this type suggests a limited but purposeful issue rather than sustained circulation coinage.
