Comment
Mint mark hand with a star, for Jakob W. Wolker in Prag.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Ferdinand III (Prague) 1638-1641 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 1638, which was a year of great scarcity and hardship in the region, and its production was likely affected by the ongoing conflict. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of the Kingdom of Bohemia during a time of great upheaval.
