| Additional information |
Prague mint production of Maria Theresia's 10 Kreuzer coinage falls squarely within the Seven Years' War and its immediate aftermath — a period when Habsburg finances were under severe strain from the conflict with Prussia. The Vienna treasury leaned heavily on provincial mints, including Prague, to sustain military expenditure, and output volumes fluctuated sharply year to year as silver supplies tightened.
Herinek numbers 1186–1193 reflect the multiple date varieties documented across the decade-long run. Collectors working this series should note that Prague strikes from this period tend toward softer die work than Vienna issues of the same type.
