| Additional information |
Oppeln (Opole) operated as a Habsburg mint during Leopold I's long reign, striking small silver for Silesian circulation under imperial authority. The region had passed firmly to the Habsburgs following the Thirty Years' War, and these kreuzers served the dense network of Silesian towns navigating post-war economic recovery alongside persistent Ottoman pressure on the empire's eastern frontier.
The Herinek reference range spanning twelve varieties reflects over three decades of production — different die cutters, shifting silver fineness, and periodic mint lease changes all contributing to the variation collectors now attribute to this single KM number.
