Comment
KM# is attributed to Austrian states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the region was experiencing political and economic upheaval. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs on both sides. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
