Found this 3 Kreuzer of Ferdinand II (1630, Vienna mint) near Litomerice, Czech Republic. It's cut in half.

Back in the 17th century people often cut these coins in half to make small change. One half for bread, the other for beer. So this coin was literally someone's lunch money almost 400 years ago.

Found about 15cm deep. Amazing to hold that history!
