Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ferdinand II (Kuttenberg) 1623-1634 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the production of coins in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and many coins from this period were minted with irregularities and variations. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1623, just a few years after the start of the war, and its silver content was likely affected by the wartime economy. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
