15 variants for the legend mentioned by Markl.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand I (Breslau) 1546-1548 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The Royal Mint of Silesia, where the coin was produced, was established in 1529, and it was during this time that the region was transitioning from a feudal society to a more modern, centralized state. The coin's design, which features an image of Ferdinand I, reflects this shift in power and the growing influence of the Habsburg dynasty in the region.
