6 Kreuzers - Leopold I St Veit

St. Veit — the mint at Sankt Veit an der Glan in Carinthia — was one of the older Habsburg provincial mints, operating intermittently for centuries before its final closure in 1765. These six-kreuzer pieces fall within Leopold I's long reign, a period bracketed by the catastrophic plague years of the 1670s and the persistent financial strain of wars against the Ottoman Empire. Provincial mints like St. Veit were kept active partly to absorb local silver supplies from Carinthian mining operations, keeping coin production geographically distributed across the hereditary lands.

The Herinek reference range spanning 1274–1282 reflects multiple die marriages across the issue years, not a single type.
