Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Charles III Joseph of Lorraine, who ruled from 1706-1711, was the last ruler of the House of Lorraine to govern the kingdom, and his reign was marked by conflicts with the Habsburgs and the Protestant nobility. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
