| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the fractional denomination '1/4' above the word 'KREUTZER', all surmounted by the crowned double-headed Imperial eagle of the Habsburg monarchy, its wings spread and detailed with heraldic feathering. Below the denomination inscription appears the date, and at the base the mint mark letter identifying the issuing mint. The design is centrally composed with the eagle dominating the upper field, while the denomination and date occupy the lower portion in a stacked arrangement. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maria Theresia's copper fractional coinage of the late 1770s was largely a response to chronic small-change shortages across the Habsburg hereditary lands, where low-denomination transactions were frequently conducted with badly worn, clipped, or outright counterfeit pieces. The quarter kreutzer sat at the absolute bottom of the official monetary hierarchy — a denomination so small that even its copper production costs were a meaningful concern to the mint administration.
These were struck at a period when Maria Theresia held titular rule jointly with her son Joseph II, though she retained effective authority over domestic policy until her death in 1780.
