(archbishopric of Salzburg, thaler of 1688, good very fine.)"The Archbishopric of Salzburg was an ecclesiastical state between Bavaria and Austria and usually ruled by a Hapsburg client.

This type was struck 1687-1709 and is common. Except for the change of ruler, it is virtually identical to the prior type (Dav-3508) issued 1668-86. This type is also catalogued as Dav-1234.
