1 Kreuzer - Charles III Joseph of Lorraine

Charles III Joseph of Lorraine was appointed Bishop of Olomouc in 1695 at age fourteen — a nakedly political placement by the Habsburg court, which used the Moravian see as a reliable sinecure for allied noble houses. He never took holy orders and administered the bishopric largely through deputies. This kreuzer series was struck across multiple years precisely because the small billon denomination bore the brunt of everyday commerce in Moravia, wearing out quickly and requiring continuous replacement.
