| Additional information |
Rudolf II relocated his imperial court from Vienna to Prague in 1583, making these Vienna-struck kreuzers among the last produced under direct Habsburg court oversight before the administrative center shifted to Bohemia. The move was partly personal — Rudolf's well-documented reclusive temperament made him prefer Prague's distance from the Ottoman pressure that kept Vienna in a state of near-permanent military anxiety throughout the 1580s.
KM#30 covers a narrow two-year window, and the Vienna mint's output for this type was not sustained into the following decade.
