| Additional information |
Paris von Lodron governed Salzburg through the entirety of the Thirty Years' War, a feat of diplomatic maneuvering that kept the archbishopric neutral while the rest of the Holy Roman Empire bled itself dry. That neutrality was expensive to maintain — subsidies, fortifications, and a standing militia all required hard currency, and Salzburg's prolific output of fractional silver during his reign reflects that fiscal pressure directly. The ⅙ Thaler denomination was a practical workhorse of regional commerce rather than a prestige issue.
Zöttl records at least seven die combinations across this type's decade of production, suggesting continuous and uninterrupted minting through Lodron's final years.
