Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). This conflict involved many European powers, including the Kingdom of Bohemia, and led to significant political and economic changes in the region. Despite the upheaval, the production of coins like this 1 Thaler continued, serving as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of the time.
