Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kipperkreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia from 1620 to 1637. During his reign, Ferdinand II faced numerous challenges, including the Thirty Years' War, which had a significant impact on the economy and coinage of the region. Despite these challenges, the 15 Kipperkreuzer coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
