One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzers coin from the Silesian Evangelic Estates (Breslau) 1633-1635 is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. On one side, it bears the image of the Holy Trinity, while on the other, it features the coat of arms of the Silesian Evangelic Estates. This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the time, and highlights the importance of both faith and civic authority in the region.
