Comment
Minted after the "defenestration of Prague", and after the election of Friedrich Palatine Count of the Rhine. This relative independence of the Bohemian States towards the Habsburg Emperor will last 2 years.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick (Kuttenberg) in 1620, and it was made of silver. This coin was a standard circulation coin during that time and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived and are now highly sought after by collectors, making them a valuable piece of history.
