Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Prague) 1622-1623 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 1622-1623, a time when the kingdom was facing political and economic instability, and its unique design and silver content make it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors.
