Interesting fact
The Joachimsthaler coin was first introduced in 1527 by Counts of Schlick in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and it was the first coin to use the name "Guldengroschen" which means "golden groat" in German. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring a shield with the Schlick family's coat of arms on one side and the Bohemian lion on the other. The Joachimsthaler coin was widely used in trade and commerce in Central Europe during the 16th century and became a model for other silver coins in the region.
