Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1711 to 1740. This coin was minted in Prague between 1728 and 1740, and it was made of silver, weighing 6.3 grams. The coin features an image of Charles VI on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. It was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was valued at 15 Kreuzers, which was a significant amount during that era.
