| Additional information |
Hall in Tirol operated as one of the Habsburg monarchy's most productive silver mints precisely because of its proximity to the Schwaz mines, which had been among Europe's dominant silver sources since the fifteenth century. By the 1740s that output was declining sharply, which makes this small kreuzer something of a late document of a mining economy already past its peak. The mint itself would be relocated to Vienna in 1765 — the Hall facility never struck imperial coinage again after that consolidation.
