| Additional information |
Maria Theresia's small silver-billon issues from the Hall mint in Tyrol served the dense commercial traffic of the Alpine passes, where Habsburg toll infrastructure made fractional coinage genuinely indispensable. Hall maintained its own mint continuously from the 13th century precisely because Tyrolean trade routes demanded local liquidity that Vienna could not reliably supply.
The KM#1762.2 designation distinguishes the Hall striking from the concurrent Kremnitz and Vienna outputs — subtle differences in die workmanship and billon fineness vary across facilities, and the Her#1353-1362 range reflects documented obverse die progression across the issue's two decades of production.
