Comment

Minted after the "defenestration of Prague", and 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

This coin was minted in Prague, which was the capital city of Bohemia at the time, and it was made of silver. The 24 Kreuzer coin was a standard circulation coin during this period and was widely used in trade and commerce.
