Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Troppau (Silesia) was minted during the reign of Charles I (1615-1619) and features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Troppau on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Europe, with the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) taking place during Charles I's reign. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and engravers who created it.
