Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted in 1719 under Counts of Nostitz-Rieneck, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver and weighing 14.56 grams, it was not considered a high-denomination coin during its time. In fact, it was a standard circulation coin, indicating that silver coins were widely used and valued in everyday transactions in the Kingdom of Bohemia during the early 18th century.
