| Aanvullende informatie |
Brieg's mint operated under Habsburg authority during a period when Silesian coinage was caught between competing imperial fiscal demands and the persistent debasement pressures following the Thirty Years' War. The 15 Kreuzer denomination itself had a troubled history in Habsburg lands — the type had been a vehicle for currency manipulation since the Kipper- und Wipperzeit of the 1620s, and its reappearance in the 1690s reflected ongoing silver shortages rather than monetary confidence. Leopold I authorized numerous regional mints across Silesia precisely because centralized striking could not meet demand.
Brieg was ceded fully to Prussia in 1742 under the Treaty of Breslau, ending its Habsburg minting history entirely.
