| Additional information |
Charles III of Habsburg — known as Charles VI as Holy Roman Emperor — inherited a Hungary exhausted by the Rákóczi uprising, which had ended only with the Peace of Szatmár in 1711, the same year this series began. The poltura was a small billon denomination that had been politically charged during the revolt; Rákóczi had issued his own competing coinage, and restoring Habsburg monetary authority in Hungary meant flooding the kingdom with loyalist issues like this one.
The KM#294.2 designation distinguishes this from the .1 variety by mint mark differences tied to the Kremnitz operation, which handled the bulk of Hungarian billon production throughout this reign.
