Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels (Silesia) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Poděbrady, to which Charles II belonged. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned eagle. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a distinct and interesting piece for collectors.
