| Additional information |
Paris von Lodron had been Archbishop of Salzburg for less than two years when this piece was struck. The Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the currency crisis of roughly 1619–1623 — saw mints across the Holy Roman Empire deliberately debase coinage to exploit fixed exchange rates, flooding circulation with underweight small silver while hoarding full-weight specie. Salzburg was no exception. The 24 Kreuzer denomination was one of the workhorses of the Kipper inflation, issued rapidly and in volume precisely because profit lay in the minting, not the metal.
The Zöttl references span three die varieties across the two-year window, reflecting the pace of production.
