Comment
Prev. KM#125.1.Krause gives only 1712 for this coin.
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 1713. This coin was minted during his episcopacy, making it a unique piece of history that highlights the religious and political significance of the region during that time.
