| Additional information |
Ferdinand I issued kreuzer coinage from the Silesian mint at Breslau (now Wrocław) during the early 1560s as part of broader Habsburg efforts to standardize currency across the fragmented Bohemian Crown lands, of which Silesia was a constituent territory. The regional mints operated with considerable autonomy, and die variations within the Markl 1880–1885 sequence reflect that inconsistency — multiple obverse and reverse die pairings are documented across the four-year span.
Ferdinand died in July 1564, cutting the series short.
