| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crowned Bohemian lion rampant to the left, depicted within a beaded or linear inner circle. The surrounding legend contains the royal titles of Friedrich V (Frederick V) in his capacity as King of Bohemia, rendered in abbreviated Latin. The heraldic lion is executed in the bold, somewhat crude style characteristic of Kipper-period emergency coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick V accepted the Bohemian crown in 1619 against the explicit advice of his own councilors, triggering the full escalation of the Thirty Years' War and his swift defeat at the Battle of White Mountain in November 1620. Stripped of the Palatinate electorate by the Emperor the following year, he spent the rest of his life in exile — earning the derisive epithet "the Winter King" for a reign lasting barely one season.
This 24 Kreuzer belongs to the Kipper und Wipper period, when debased small-denomination coinage flooded German markets as princes and municipalities desperately exploited the currency to fund war expenditures. The Palatinate issues of 1621 are among the most politically charged of the Kipper coinage, struck by an authority already functionally defunct.
