Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a small image of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of the Czech Republic, on the reverse side of the coin. This design was added to the coin to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of St. Wenceslas' death and to honor his legacy as a symbol of Czech national identity.
