Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, who was the Bishop of Olomouc from 1650 to 1655. 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 ruler.
