Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the Moravian Estates (Olmutz) 1619-1620 is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coin was likely used to help finance the military efforts of the kingdom. Additionally, the coin features an image of the Bohemian lion on one side and the Moravian eagle on the other, symbolizing the unity of the two regions under the Habsburg monarchy.
