Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) made of Silver features an image of Adam Wenceslaus, the Duke of Teschen, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. The coin was minted between 1609 and 1613, during Wenceslaus' rule. What's interesting is that Adam Wenceslaus was a member of the House of Habsburg, which was a powerful royal family that ruled over many parts of Europe during that time. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during his reign and features his image, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
