| Additional information |
Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1745 until his death the same year — one of the shortest episcopates in the see's history. This six-ducat piece was almost certainly struck as a presentation or accession issue rather than for any circulation purpose; multiples of this weight in high-fineness gold were instruments of diplomatic gift-giving and court ceremony, not commerce.
The Zöttl reference places it among a tightly catalogued run of Salzburg gold multiples, a series notorious for surviving in very small numbers precisely because so few were struck to begin with.
