Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ferdinand III (Prague) 1629 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 coin was minted in Prague, which was a stronghold of the Protestant cause. The coin features an image of Ferdinand III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time and a prominent figure in the Catholic League. Despite the religious tensions, the coin was still widely accepted and used throughout the region, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
