| Additional information |
By 1803, Salzburg's status as an independent ecclesiastical principality was effectively over. The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of that year secularized the archbishopric, transferring it first to Ferdinand III — formerly Grand Duke of Tuscany, displaced by Napoleon's reorganization of Italy — as compensation for his losses. These billon pieces were struck under that transitional authority, making them products of a jurisdiction that existed, in its final form, for only a handful of years before Salzburg passed to Austria in 1805.
