¼ Thaler - Charles VI Prague

Charles VI ruled Bohemia as Holy Roman Emperor but spent the latter part of his reign consumed by the Pragmatic Sanction — his diplomatic campaign to ensure his daughter Maria Theresa could inherit the Habsburg lands intact. The Prague mint continued striking silver fractional coinage through this period, but Charles died in 1740 having secured signatures from every major European power, most of which proved worthless within months when Frederick the Great invaded Silesia.

Herinek 591 covers a span of several obverse and reverse die combinations across the 1730–1736 window; date attribution within the type requires close examination of the mint-master's mark.
