1 Ducat - Maria Theresia Hall

Maria Theresia's claim to the Habsburg inheritance was immediately disputed upon her father Charles VI's death in October 1740, triggering the War of the Austrian Succession before she had been on the throne three months. The Hall Mint in Tyrol — one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the Habsburg lands, drawing on centuries of silver from the Inn Valley — was producing gold under urgent political pressure in 1741, as Theresia scrambled to secure allies and fund military campaigns against Frederick the Great's Prussian forces and the Franco-Bavarian coalition pressing into Austria itself.

The Eypeltauer reference places this squarely in the first year of her documented ducat production at Hall.
