Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted in 1630 under Counts of Schlick, was made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin bears an image of a hand holding a shield with the Schlick family crest. This design was a symbol of the Counts of Schlick's power and influence in the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of its time.
