Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer - Ferdinand II (Neisse) 1624 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War had begun in 1618 and would last until 1648, causing widespread destruction and disrupting trade routes. Despite these challenges, the Royal Mint of Silesia continued to produce coins, including this one, which was minted in 1624. This coin's existence is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who produced it, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history of Europe during this time period.
