Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin featuring Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The coin was minted in 1681, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Europe, including the Kingdom of Bohemia. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and engravers who created it.
