Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, was a religious conflict that involved many European countries, including the Kingdom of Bohemia. The coin was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia at the time. The coin's design and minting process were likely influenced by the political and economic conditions of the time, making it a unique and interesting piece of history.
