Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Guldengroschen "Joachimsthaler" coin from 1525 is that it was used as a means of payment in the Kingdom of Bohemia during a time of great economic change. The coin was introduced by Counts of Schlick, who were influential nobles in the region, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time. The coin's design featured an image of St. Joachim, the patron saint of hunters and shepherds, on one side, and the Bohemian lion on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly sought after by collectors.
