3 Kreuzers - Max Gandolf von Kuenburg

Max Gandolf von Kuenburg ruled the Archbishopric of Salzburg from 1668 until his death in 1687, presiding over a territory that functioned as a fully sovereign ecclesiastical principality within the Holy Roman Empire — with its own mint, its own courts, and its own foreign policy. He is historically better remembered for the brutal expulsion of Salzburg's Protestant population in 1684 than for any monetary policy, but the two are not entirely unrelated: the social and economic disruption of that purge coincided almost exactly with the later years of this issue's production run.
