6 Kreuzers Siege coinage

Braunau am Inn fell under Franco-Bavarian occupation during the War of Austrian Succession, and Austrian forces besieged the city in 1743. Cut off from regular supply, the garrison and civil administration resorted to emergency coinage struck from whatever silver could be gathered locally — plate, ecclesiastical silver, and personal items all fed the dies. The resulting pieces are irregular in flan preparation and often show evidence of the haste under which they were produced.

The siege ended with Austrian recapture of the city that same year.
