Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Counts of Schlick (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Schlick family, which is placed above the main image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Franz Ernest. This shield is a distinctive feature of the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
