Copper poltura of Maria Theresa, 1763
A copper poltura of 1763, worth a kreuzer and a half, struck for the Kingdom of Hungary with Maria Theresa's bust and her titles as Roman empress and queen of Germany, Hungary and Bohemia. The reverse shows the Virgin and Child in a burst of rays, with the date split as 17 and 63, the letter K of the Kremnitz mint at the lower left and the word “POLTURA” below. The Virgin as patroness of Hungary had stood on the kingdom's coins for nearly three centuries by then.
