| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Holy Roman Emperor Franz I facing right, rendered in a classical baroque style. The emperor is depicted with naturalistic detail typical of mid-18th-century Austrian coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, commencing at approximately 8 o'clock, reading the abbreviated titles for Franciscus Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus, Germaniae, Hierosolymae Rex, Lotharingiae, Barri, Magnus Hetruriae Dux. The truncation of the bust is plain. |

The 17-kreuzer denomination is one of the odder fractional values in Habsburg coinage, and it exists for a specific reason: it was tariffed to circulate at par with the Dutch 6-stuiver piece across the Austrian Netherlands and adjacent trade zones, a purely practical response to the currency patchwork of mid-18th century Central Europe. Franz I struck these primarily to satisfy cross-border commerce rather than domestic accounting, where the denomination had no natural place in the standard kreuzer series.
Her#378 corresponds to the Vienna mint. The KM#2026.2 distinction separates this variety from the .1 issue by subtle legend and die differences documented in Herinek's Austrian reference.
