Interesting fact
The Joachimsthaler coin was first introduced in 1525 by Counts of Schlick in the Kingdom of Bohemia, and it was the first coin to use the name "Guldengroschen" which translates to "golden groat" in English. 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 during its time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
