6 Kreuzers - Maria Theresia Hall

Maria Theresia had been on the throne barely four years when this issue was struck at Hall in Tyrol, still in the midst of the War of Austrian Succession — a conflict she entered without a functioning treasury and had to finance through emergency fiscal measures including debased small coinage. Billon issues like this one were a direct consequence of that pressure, with silver content depressed to keep metal flowing into the war effort.

Hall's mint, operating in the Inn Valley since the 15th century, was one of the few facilities she could rely on during this period when Bohemian and other mints were under threat or occupation.
