Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1526 Joachimsthaler coin is that it was the first coin to use the name "Thaler" (or "Guldengroschen" in Czech), which later became a standard denomination in many European countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The name "Thaler" was derived from the town of Joachimsthal, where the coin was minted, and it became a widely recognized term for a silver coin worth one gulden or groschen.
