Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Jakob Ernst von Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn, who was the Bishop of Olomouc from 1728 to 1741. This coin was minted during his episcopacy, and it is a rare example of a coin that bears the image of a Catholic bishop. Additionally, the coin is made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
