Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen "Joachimsthaler" coin from the Counts of Schlick (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it was one of the first coins to use the image of a king or ruler on its obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional use of religious symbols or abstract designs on coins, and marked a shift towards the use of secular imagery in coinage.
