Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers - Maximilian II (Budweis) 1570-1572 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Bohemian coat of arms, which includes a shield with the image of St. George slaying a dragon, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a wild man, a mythical creature commonly found in medieval European art and folklore. This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of Bohemia during the 16th century.
