Comment
KM# is attributed to Austrian states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Wolfgang von Schrattenbach, who was the Bishop of Olomouc from 1722 to 1738. The coin was minted during his episcopacy, and his portrait on the coin signifies the importance of the Catholic Church in the region during that time.
