Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Charles III Joseph of Lorraine, who was the Bishop of Olomouc from 1703 to 1707. This coin was minted during his episcopacy, and it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a religious leader rather than a secular authority. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the religious and political context of the time, making it a unique piece of history.
