Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden/30 Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the first Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from the House of Habsburg. This coin was issued in Joachimsthal, a town in what is now the Czech Republic, and was made of silver. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand I on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. The coin's mintage was significant because it helped to standardize currency across the Holy Roman Empire, making trade and commerce easier and more efficient.
