Comment
B W = Bernard Wonsidler, mint master (1702-1716)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VI, who was also known as Charles the Bewitched. He was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia from 1711 to 1740, and his reign was marked by a series of conflicts, including the War of the Spanish Succession and the Austro-Turkish War. Despite these challenges, Charles VI was able to maintain the stability of the Bohemian economy and mint coins like the 3 Kreuzers, which were used for everyday transactions.
