Minted after the "defenestration of Prague", and before the election of Friedrich Palatine Count of the Rhine. This relative independence of the Bohemian States towards the Habsburg Emperor will last 2 years.Prev. KM#1158.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Czech Estates (Kuttenberg) in 1619 is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coinage of the kingdom was being heavily debased to finance the war effort. As a result, the 12 Kreuzer coin was one of the few coins that maintained its value and became a popular means of exchange among merchants and traders. Its silver content made it a reliable store of value, and it was widely accepted throughout the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the 12 Kreuzer coin remained a symbol of stability and prosperity in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
