1 Poltura - Maria Theresa

The poltura was a low-denomination copper-silver coin with roots in the Polish półtorak, its name a direct Hungarian corruption of that unit. By the 1750s, Maria Theresa's administration was pressing Hungarian mints hard to supply subsidiary coinage for a kingdom whose monetary infrastructure lagged badly behind the western Habsburg lands. These small silver pieces circulated alongside a chaotic mix of older copper issues and foreign fractions that had never been fully cleared from Hungarian trade channels.
