Comment
KM# is attributed to Austrian states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles III Joseph of Lorraine, who was the Duke of Lorraine and Bar, as well as the King of Hungary and Croatia. This was a time of great upheaval in the region, with the Holy Roman Empire facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations and the impact of the Protestant Reformation. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Olomouc continued to mint coins, such as the 1 Kreuzer, which were used for everyday transactions and played a vital role in the local economy.
