| Additional information |
Charles VI never resolved the Hungarian succession during his lifetime — his obsessive diplomatic effort, the Pragmatic Sanction, consumed the final decades of his reign and was ultimately ignored the moment he died in 1740. The fractional ducat coinage of this period was struck primarily for trade and gift-giving in the Ottoman borderlands, where small gold denominations carried practical value that larger issues could not easily serve.
The ÉH#1177 attribution places this firmly within Éva Háry's corpus of Hungarian Habsburg coinage — a classification system that remains the standard reference for this series despite being decades old.
