Comment
Vacancy between 12/1771, death of Schrattenbach, and April 1772 with the nomination of Colloredo.Interesting fact
The 1772 Sede Vacante 2½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the Interregnum, a period of sede vacante (or "empty seat") in the Holy Roman Empire, which lasted from 1740 to 1772. This period saw a series of conflicts between Catholic and Protestant states, as well as the rise of Enlightenment ideas and the decline of the feudal system. The coin's design, which features an image of the Salzburg Cathedral, may have been intended to symbolize the power and influence of the Catholic Church during this time.
