1/2 kreuzer - Charles VI Graz

Charles VI spent much of his reign consumed by the Pragmatic Sanction — his campaign to secure Habsburg succession for his daughter Maria Theresa across every European court. The Graz mint, operating under Styrian jurisdiction, produced these fractional copper pieces for local circulation in the Inner Austrian territories, where small-denomination coinage remained essential to daily commerce long after silver dominated imperial finance.

The Heraeus reference range spanning Her#960–969 reflects measurable die variation across the decade of production — not a single uniform issue.
