| Additional information |
Further Austria was not a contiguous territory but a scattered collection of Habsburg lands in southwestern Germany and Switzerland — administratively awkward and perpetually underfunded. Joseph II's copper fractional issues for the region were part of his broader rationalization of Habsburg coinage, the same reform program that standardized denominational systems across the empire's disparate crowns. The 1/4 Kreutzer was the smallest denomination in regular circulation, produced primarily to serve the peasant economy of the Black Forest and upper Rhine valley.
Joseph died in February 1790, and Further Austria itself was ceded to France under the Treaty of Lunéville just eleven years later.
