KM# is attributed to Austrian states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Rudolph Johann 1820 from Bishopric of Olomouc (Kingdom of Bohemia) coin is that it features a unique combination of Christian and mythological symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the bust of Rudolph Johann, the Bishop of Olomouc, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, while the reverse side features a scene of Saint George slaying a dragon, which is a popular mythological motif in European culture. This blending of religious and mythological themes is a distinctive feature of this coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
