30 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia

The 30 Kreuzer denomination was introduced as part of Maria Theresia's broader monetary reforms following the Seven Years' War, which had left imperial finances severely strained. The Münzpatent of 1762 restructured the Habsburg coinage system, and the 30 Kreuzer filled a practical gap between the smaller silver denominations and the full Thaler — a slot that had seen inconsistent coverage for decades.

The Her#767-776 range spans ten die varieties across the issue's run, reflecting both mint activity at multiple facilities and incremental adjustments to the fineness as silver supplies fluctuated through the early 1770s.
