6 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia Hall

The 1743 date places this issue early in Maria Theresia's reign — she had inherited the Habsburg lands just three years prior under the Pragmatic Sanction, a succession her father Charles VI had spent decades negotiating, yet which immediately triggered the War of the Austrian Succession. Hall in Tyrol, one of the oldest and most productive silver mints in Central Europe, continued striking throughout the conflict, its output underpinning Habsburg military finance at a moment when the dynasty's survival was genuinely in question.
