Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - 75 Kipper Kreuzer - Ferdinand II (Kuttenberg) 1621-1622 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Kipper Kreuzer was a currency reform introduced by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1621, which aimed to stabilize the economy and combat inflation by introducing a new currency that was based on the silver standard. The ½ Thaler coin was one of the denominations introduced as part of this reform, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and stable metal at the time. This coin is a rare and interesting example of the currency reform efforts during this period in history.
