A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, referencing the bishop's titles as Count Schrattenbach and his dignities in Bohemia. |

| Additional information |
Wolfgang von Schrattenbach served as Prince-Bishop of Olomouc from 1711 until his death in 1738, and this issue falls in the early years of his episcopate — a period when Moravian ecclesiastical mints were navigating the monetary aftermath of the War of the Spanish Succession. The KM#392.2 distinction from 392.1 reflects a die variation documented by later cataloguers, likely tied to the transition between engravers at the Olomouc mint mid-series.
