| Additional information |
Sigismund I von Volkersdorf held the see of Salzburg during a period of chronic tension between the archbishopric and the Habsburg dukes over territorial control of the Salzach corridor. His coinage, including this small silver issue, functioned as much as an assertion of ecclesiastical minting rights as it did a practical circulating medium — rights the archbishops had defended, and occasionally lost, since the eleventh century.
The CNA reference places this squarely within Cach's systematic cataloguing of Austrian medieval numismatics, where Salzburg episcopal deniers of this period are noted for considerable die variation despite low individual weights.
