| Additional information |
Charles VI's Silesian ducat fractions were struck at Breslau following the region's firm incorporation into Habsburg administration after the Peace of Breslau was still decades away — this mint operated under imperial authority until Frederick the Great seized Silesia in 1742, ending Austrian production there permanently. The quarter ducat denomination served primarily as a presentation and gift piece rather than everyday commerce; at under a gram of gold, its practical spending value was negligible even by early 18th-century standards.
Breslau mint output for Charles VI in fractional gold is genuinely scarce. The Fr#385 reference aggregates several emission years, making date-specific survivors harder to isolate in the census.
