Additional information

Constantine of Buttlar governed Fulda as prince-abbot from 1714 until his death in 1726, presiding over an abbey-state that retained full imperial coinage rights as a Reichsstift. The 1723–1724 dating on this kreuzer is narrow enough to suggest a specific short-term minting contract rather than a continuous issue, a pattern common among the smaller ecclesiastical mints of the Holy Roman Empire that struck only when pressing fiscal needs arose.

Fulda's billon output from this period is consistently poorly documented in surviving mint records, and KM#46 turns up rarely enough in trade that die varieties, if they exist, remain uncharted.
