Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Ferdinand I (Joachimsthal) ND (1529-1530) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was used as a means of payment for the miners who worked in the Joachimsthal region, which is now known as Jáchymov in the Czech Republic. The coin was issued by King Ferdinand I in 1529-1530, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable resource at the time. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, and its historical significance is a testament to the rich history of the region and its mining industry.
