1 Kreuzer - Maria Theresia Graz

Austria's Kreuzer coinage of this period was under constant strain from the Seven Years' War, which began in 1756 and forced the Habsburg treasury into emergency financing arrangements that degraded silver content across multiple small denominations. The Graz mint, one of several provincial facilities pressed into service to meet wartime demand, struck these pieces alongside Vienna and Hall to keep fractional silver in circulation across the empire's far-flung territories.

KM#1820 is known with minor die variations across the Graz output, attributable to the volume of working dies required during peak war years.
