Additional information

Paris von Lodron ruled Salzburg through the entirety of the Thirty Years' War, a remarkable feat of political navigation that kept the archbishopric largely out of the fighting while neighboring territories were devastated. His fiscal policies during this period required sustained small-denomination silver production — fractions like this sixth-thaler kept commercial activity functioning when larger denominations were hoarded or fled the region entirely.

The Zöttl reference range spanning seven varieties across this type reflects die changes accumulated over more than two decades of continuous production.
