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 in the region. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the production of coins in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and many coins from this period were minted with irregularities and variations. Despite these challenges, the ½ Thaler coin from Ferdinand II's reign remains a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
