| Additional information |
By 1698, Transylvania's status as an autonomous principality was effectively over. The 1691 Diploma Leopoldinum had already folded it into Habsburg administration, and Leopold I was issuing multi-ducat gold pieces from Hermannstadt (Sibiu) more as assertions of imperial authority than as functioning trade currency. These heavy gold multiples circulated among courts and treasuries, not markets.
Resch 36 is among the scarcer die pairings in this series, with surviving examples concentrated in a handful of European institutional collections.
