Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1526 Joachimsthaler coin is that it was the first coin to use the taler denomination, which was a new standardized currency introduced by the Counts of Schlick in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The taler was equivalent to 1 1/2 guldengroschen, and it was designed to simplify trade and commerce in the region. The Joachimsthaler coin was made of silver and featured an image of St. Joachim, the patron saint of the Schlick family, on one side, and the Bohemian lion on the other. The coin's design and denomination became a model for other coins in the region, and it played an important role in the development of the Bohemian monetary system.
