1/2 Thaler - Charles III

Charles III of Habsburg — Charles VI as Holy Roman Emperor — governed Transylvania as a conquered hereditary possession following the expulsion of the Ottomans, and his Transylvanian coinage was issued under the authority of the Vienna court rather than any local diet or estates. The years bracketing this issue, 1724–1735, fall squarely within his efforts to consolidate fiscal administration across the Hungarian crown lands through the Pragmatic Sanction framework he was simultaneously pressing European powers to guarantee.

The Kremnitz and Nagybánya mints handled most silver output for the region during this period. Resch's attribution to type 31 places this among a small production run.
