| Additional information |
Kuttenberg — Kutná Hora in Czech — was one of the most productive silver mining centers in Central Europe, and the Habsburg administration maintained its mint there partly as a matter of regional economic control, partly because moving ore any distance was expensive. By 1695 the Kutná Hora mint was in its final decades of operation; it closed permanently in 1727.
Leopold I's reign saw relentless military expenditure against the Ottomans, and Bohemian mint output during the 1690s was heavily influenced by the fiscal demands of the Great Turkish War, which concluded at Karlowitz in 1699.
