Comment
Note: Krause places 1674 with KM#574. Same as Dietiker. Error or different type ? The picture in Herinek Her#991 is the type with smooth hair.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features an image of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, on one side, and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, including the Thirty Years' War, and its design reflects the political and cultural influences of the era.
