Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Rudolf II (Kuttenberg) 1605 from Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Bohemian lion on the left, and the Habsburg eagle on the right, symbolizing the union between the two dynasties. This design was specifically chosen by Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time, to highlight his connection to both the Bohemian and Habsburg royal families. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern numismatics, providing a glimpse into the complex political and cultural landscape of 17th century Europe.
