| Additional information |
Gorizia occupied an awkward administrative position throughout Maria Theresia's reign — technically a Habsburg hereditary land but governed under its own county structure, which is precisely why it issued copper fractions under local authority rather than through the main Vienna mint apparatus. The 1741 start date is telling: that year Maria Theresia was fighting for her throne against the Bavarian and French-backed claimants in the War of Austrian Succession, yet the machinery of local coinage continued uninterrupted.
The nearly three-decade span of this type without design revision reflects the deliberate monetary conservatism applied to small copper issues in peripheral Habsburg territories.
