"Max Gandolph von Küenburg, 1668-1687. 15 Kreuzer 1682, auf das 1.100jährige Jubiläum des Erzstiftes. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (archbishopric of Salzburg, Max Gandolph of Küenburg, 1668-87, fifteen kreuzer of 1682, on the 1100th anniversary of the Bishopric. Very fine to extremely fine.)"
The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type is not listed in the SCWC. Fifteen kreuzer was one quarter gulden. In the seventeenth century, Salzburg was blessed with a number of productive silver mines and the prince-archbishop was a prolific issuer of coins, particularly thalers. The archbishopric was secularized in 1803 and passed to Austria in 1814.
