Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Franz von Dietrichstein, the Bishop of Olomouc, on one side, and the Bohemian lion on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in the region, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics at play. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during this time period.
