| Additional information |
Wolfgang von Schrattenbach served as Prince-Bishop of Olomouc from 1711 until his death in 1738, and these kreuzers were among his earliest issued coinage — struck in the first full years following his installation. The Bishopric of Olomouc held the status of an immediate imperial fief, meaning Schrattenbach exercised full temporal authority alongside spiritual jurisdiction, which gave him the right to strike coin independently of Bohemian or Habsburg mint oversight, though in practice the issues conformed closely to the imperial kreuzer standard of the period.
The two-year window of 1712–1713 is narrow enough that surviving examples likely reflect a single mint contract rather than sustained production.
