| Additional information |
Joseph I died in April 1711 from smallpox — abruptly, at 32, before the Peace of Szatmár formally ended the Rákóczi uprising that had destabilized Habsburg coinage production in Hungary for nearly a decade. Coins dated 1711 under his name were almost certainly struck either in the final weeks of his reign or posthumously in the transition to Charles III, a common practice at Kremnitz and the other Hungarian mints during succession periods.
The Éremhatározó reference ÉH#1151 places this among the terminal issues of his Hungarian series. Quarter ducats of this reign are seldom encountered; the denomination saw limited production relative to full and half ducat strikings.
