1/2 Thaler - Francis I of Lorraine, as co-ruler with X

Francis I ruled the Habsburg domains as co-regent alongside his wife Maria Theresa, who held the actual hereditary claim to Hungary — he never held independent Hungarian kingship. The arrangement was politically deliberate: Maria Theresa had fought the War of the Austrian Succession in part to secure recognition of her right to rule in her own name, making Francis's co-ruler status on Hungarian coinage a careful diplomatic balancing act rather than a reflection of real authority.
