Comment
KM# is attributed to Austrian states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the region was still recovering from the devastation. Despite this, the coinage continued to be minted, and this particular coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of the Kingdom during that time.
