| Additional information |
Charles VI spent much of his reign obsessed with securing acceptance of the Pragmatic Sanction — the legal instrument by which he hoped to pass his territories intact to his daughter Maria Theresa. The diplomatic horse-trading this required drained imperial finances steadily through the 1720s, and the Graz mint was kept busy supplying the fractional silver that commerce in Inner Austria actually ran on.
The Graz facility had struck 15 Kreuzer pieces intermittently since the late seventeenth century, and Herinek 636 places this emission within a closely sequenced group of annual varieties distinguishable primarily by the date position relative to the mintmaster's initials.
