Charles VI's Hall thalers of this period were struck at the Haller Münze during the immediate aftermath of the War of the Spanish Succession, in which Charles had himself been the rival claimant to the Spanish throne. Having failed to secure Madrid, he consolidated his Austrian holdings and the Hall mint — one of the oldest continuously operating silver mints in Europe, drawing on Tyrolean ore — became a principal instrument of that financial consolidation. The treaty of Rastatt in 1714 effectively ended his Spanish ambitions and redirected imperial monetary policy toward the hereditary lands.
Herinek's references 333–337 distinguish several die marriages across this five-year span, with minor variations in the arrangement of the imperial titles in the legend reflecting ongoing adjustments to Charles's formal style as Holy Roman Emperor.
