1 Poltura - Leopold I

These poltura pieces were struck not under Leopold I's authority but in defiance of it — issued during the Rákóczi uprising, the Hungarian and Transylvanian rebellion against Habsburg rule that began in 1703. Ferenc II Rákóczi's forces controlled the minting apparatus during this period, producing coins that bore Leopold's name while simultaneously fighting his armies. The attribution to Leopold is essentially a fiction of convenience; the coins served the rebellion's treasury.

The series was cut short by Leopold's death in 1705, though striking continued under the same types into Joseph I's reign.
