Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers - Groschen - Ferdinand II (Kuttenberg) 1624-1635 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 the city of Kuttenberg, which was an important center for coin production during this time. Despite the challenges faced during this period, the 3 Kreuzers - Groschen - Ferdinand II (Kuttenberg) 1624-1635 coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
