Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Weissgroschen - Rudolf II (Budweis) 1584-1595 (1578-1595) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and it was a time of significant economic growth and trade in the region. The coin's design features a portrait of Rudolf II on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many examples still in existence and highly sought after by numismatists.
