| Additional information |
Charles VI authorized continued operation of the St. Veit an der Glan mint in Carinthia largely on the strength of local silver production from the surrounding alpine mining district. The mint had a long and intermittent history, and by 1714 it was already in its final decades — St. Veit would cease striking coins before the mid-18th century as Habsburg monetary rationalization consolidated production at larger facilities.
Her#750 is the standard Herinek reference for Austrian provincial coinage of this period, and the KM#1541 attribution places this squarely within the recognized Carinthian output for Charles VI's reign.
