Previous KM#13Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Saint Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Franz von Dietrichstein, the Bishop of Olomouc. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the early 17th century.
