Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn family, which was added to the obverse side of the coin. This was a departure from the standard design used on other coins of the time, which typically featured only the coat of arms of the ruling monarch. The inclusion of the Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn family's coat of arms on the coin highlights the influence and power of this noble family in the region during that time period.
