10 Poltura - Francis II Rákóczi

Francis II Rákóczi struck these coins during the Kuruc uprising against Habsburg rule — a war of independence that collapsed in 1711 when his depleted forces signed the Peace of Szatmár without him. The copper poltura issues were emergency monetary policy as much as anything else, filling a vacuum left by Habsburg coinage that much of the population refused to use or simply couldn't obtain.

The series covers several die varieties cataloged separately under Éremhatározó, reflecting inconsistent production across multiple minting sites operating under wartime conditions.
