Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - 120 Kipper Kreuzer - Ferdinand II (Prague) 1620-1621 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and it was used as a means of standardizing currency across the kingdom. This coin was made of silver and was divided into 120 smaller units called Kipper Kreuzer, which made it easier for people to conduct everyday transactions. The coin's design featured an image of Ferdinand II on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's rich history and cultural heritage.
