Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin was minted during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. The coin features an image of Leopold I on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three crowns, which represent the three kingdoms of Bohemia, Silesia, and Lusatia. The use of the number three in the coin's design was a nod to the Holy Trinity and was meant to symbolize the connection between the Holy Roman Empire and the Christian faith.
