This specimen was part of lot 3057 in Künker sale 384 (Osnabrück, March 2023), which sold for €260 (about US$336 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Franz Anton von Harrach, 1709-1727. Einseitiger Pfennig 1709, 1710, 1711, 1712, 1713, 1714, 1715, 1716, 1717, 1719, 1723, 1724, 1725.

(archbishopric of Salzburg, Francis Anthony of Harrach, 1709-27, uniface pennies of 1709-25. Thirteen pieces, very fine to uncirculated.)"

The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client. This type was struck 1709-27 and has a low catalog value. 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.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver or billon.

Catalog reference: KM 291, Probszt 2089; Zöttl 2506.
