| Additional information |
Maria Theresia inherited the Habsburg lands in 1740 under the Pragmatic Sanction, but her right to rule was immediately contested by Prussia, Bavaria, France, and Spain — the War of Austrian Succession consumed the first eight years of her reign. The Prague mint continued striking small-denomination silver throughout the conflict, though Bohemia itself changed hands briefly during the Prussian and Bavarian occupations of 1741–42, making early Prague issues from this period administratively complicated to attribute with precision.
