Comment
Kipper coin, with low silver content.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Kreuzers - Ferdinand II (Schweidnitz) 1622 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Silesia Ferdinandi" (Silesia of Ferdinand). This indicates that the coin was minted specifically for the region of Silesia during the reign of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor.
