| Additional information |
Charles VI spent much of his reign forcing the Habsburg hereditary lands to accept the Pragmatic Sanction, the 1713 decree that would allow his daughter Maria Theresa to inherit. Silesia, administered from Breslau, was among the territories that formally ratified it — a concession extracted through political pressure and financial incentive. The Breslau mint's gold output during these years partly reflected the cost of that diplomacy.
Ducat production at Breslau ran inconsistently across the 1717–1724 window, with known die variation between issues. Fr#376 references a type distinct from the Vienna and Prague strikings of the same reign.
