Comment
Prev. KM#125.2.KM# is attributed to Austrian states.
Schön DM# 20 encompasses both KM# 392.1 and 392.2, but the picture looks like KM# 392.1.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc is that it features an image of Wolfgang von Schrattenbach, who was the Bishop of Olomouc from 1712 to 1716. 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.
