10 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia

Burgau was a small Habsburg hereditary territory in Swabia, and its coinage authority derived entirely from Maria Theresia's position as Margravine — a title the Habsburgs had held since 1486. These kreuzers were struck during the final years of her reign, when imperial coinage reform was an active and contentious project across the fragmented Habsburg lands. The Vienna monetary reforms of the 1750s had attempted to standardize subsidiary silver across the hereditary territories, but Burgau continued issuing under its own margraviate identity well into the 1770s.
