Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Charles III Joseph of Lorraine, who was the bishop of Olomouc from 1704 to 1711, and later became the Holy Roman Emperor in 1711. This coin was minted during his time as bishop, and it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a religious leader rather than a secular authority.
