In Kroměříž Mint, not only ordinary coins were made but also a lot of qualified craftsmen worked there. They were able to make plastic front and backside of the coins and medals. Kryštof Hoffmann, one of the famous craftsmen, created a portrait medal of Bishop Charles II of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn in 1670. In the same year, the medal was minted from gold and weighed 20 ducats. Kroměříž mintage belonged to the most valued currency of that period and later to the sought-after numismatic acquisitions thanks to good artistic level and thorough artwork. In the end of the 18th century, the activity of the Mint was ended on the order of Empress Marie Theresa.
