Additional information

Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn ruled the Bishopric of Olomouc for two decades during the long Catholic recovery of Moravia following the Thirty Years' War — a period when episcopal mints across the Habsburg lands were striking small silver aggressively to meet the chronic shortage of fractional coinage. His episcopate coincided with sustained rebuilding of Olomouc itself, much of which he personally funded. The KM#236.2 and 236.3 distinction reflects die variation across the extended production run rather than any change in issuing authority or monetary policy.
