Comment
The lists of minting dates are incomplete in all catalogues. Krause mentions 1724 to 1726 but the bust is drapped and should be a different coin.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 the Holy Roman Emperor from 1711 to 1740. This coin was part of a series of reforms that Charles VI implemented to standardize the currency across the Holy Roman Empire, which at the time was a collection of various territories and states in Central Europe. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia on one side and the image of Charles VI on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the 3 Kreuzers coin was an important part of the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
