Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Charles I 1614 coin from Duchy of Troppau (Silesia) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Troppau, which was a region in Silesia (now part of Poland) that was ruled by the House of Habsburg. This shield is placed below the main image of Charles I on the obverse side of the coin. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins minted during the same period and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
