Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Brno) 1622-1627 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the production of coins in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and many coins from this period were minted with irregularities and variations. This coin, in particular, was minted in Brno, which was a significant minting location during this time period. Despite the challenges faced during this time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, making it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors.
