| Additional information |
Charles VI spent much of his reign fighting the War of the Spanish Succession, a conflict that drained imperial treasuries and forced the Habsburgs to lean heavily on Bohemian mint output to fund military operations. The Kuttenberg mint — Kutná Hora — had been one of the most productive silver facilities in Central Europe since the medieval Bohemian silver boom, though by 1712 it was well past its peak and operating on a fraction of its former capacity.
The Herinek reference range spanning 1657–1740 reflects how little this denomination changed across multiple reigns — small fractional silver rarely warranted new dies when old designs still met imperial standards.
