Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian II (1570-1575), who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia at the time. The coin features an image of Maximilian II on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were commonly used in the region, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable metals in coinage. This change in minting practice was likely influenced by the growing economic and political power of the region during the Renaissance period.
