Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the connection between the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Habsburg Empire.
