The obverse side of the coin features an image of Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and a crown. The reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which includes a shield with the symbols of the three kingdoms that made up the Habsburg Monarchy: Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia. The shield is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and topped with a crown. This coin is interesting because it highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which was a significant power in Central Europe during the 17th century. The coin's design also reflects the influence of the Habsburg Monarchy, which ruled over a large portion of Europe during that time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process speaks to the value and scarcity of the metal during that era. Overall, this coin offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the cultural, political, and economic forces that shaped the Kingdom of Bohemia during the 17th century.
