Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ferdinand II (Graz) 1625 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1619 to 1637 and the King of Bohemia from 1617 to 1619. This was a period of great upheaval in Europe, marked by the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and had a profound impact on the economy and political landscape of the continent. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
