| Additional information |
Maria Theresa's claim to the Habsburg throne was immediately contested upon her accession in 1740, triggering the War of the Austrian Succession. Hungary proved her most critical ally — the Hungarian Diet of 1741 famously pledged military and financial support after she appeared before the assembled nobles at Pozsony. These deniers, struck through the years of that conflict, were part of the coinage sustaining a monarchy fighting simultaneously against Prussia, France, Bavaria, and Saxony. The series ends in 1745, the year the war's German theater concluded with the Peace of Dresden.
