Interesting fact
The 24 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted in 1620 during the reign of Frederick (Kuttenberg), was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a Bohemian king on its obverse side. This was a significant departure from previous coins, which typically featured religious symbols or other motifs. The inclusion of the king's image on the coin was seen as a statement of the growing power and influence of the Bohemian monarchy during that time.
