Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the region was still recovering from the devastation. Despite this, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the 6 Kreuzers coin being a common denomination. Additionally, the coin features an image of Charles II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn, who was a prominent figure in the region's history and played a significant role in the coin's design.
