Much like the later Franconian Circle issues of 1693-95 the archbishopric of Salzburg attempted to mitigate the damage to the local economy that the low quality German Talers then in circulation were causing. Unfortunately, since there was a charge of one Kreuzer for every Taler and two Pfennigs for every Half Taler charged to all citizens who brought there coins to be checked, many citizens refused. Thus the attempt failed with relatively few examples remaining today.
Estimate: $2500.00- $3500.00
