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 means "golden groat" in German. The coin was made of silver and had a value of 30 groats. It was a significant innovation in coinage at the time, as it was one of the first coins to use a standardized design and weight, making it easier to use in trade and commerce.
