"Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi, 1560-1586. 10 Kreuzer 1572, mit Titel Maximilians II. RR Hübsche Patina, sehr schön-vorzüglich. (archbishopric of Salzburg, John Jacob Khuen of Belasi, 1560-86, ten kreuzer of 1572, struck n the name of Maximilian II. Very rare, handsome patina, 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 denomination was one-sixth of a guldenthaler or 5/36 of a thaler. Its value continued to slip as the gulden shrank against the thaler. 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.
