Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Breslau) 1627-1628 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the production of coins during this period, as many mints were forced to close or operate at reduced capacity. Despite these challenges, the Royal Mint of Silesia was able to continue producing coins, including this particular issue, which features Ferdinand II, the Holy Roman Emperor.
