Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Breslau; flat collar) 1625-1626 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of Breslau on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many numismatists interested in its history and the story it tells about the region's past.
