Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a skull at the bottom of the reverse side. This symbol was added to the coin as a reminder of the transience of life and the inevitability of death, and was a common motif in art and architecture during the Renaissance period.
