Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features an image of Ferdinand II, who was the King of Bohemia from 1627 to 1630. He was a member of the House of Habsburg and was known for his strong support of the Catholic Church and his efforts to maintain peace in the region during a time of religious conflict. The coin itself is made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin during Ferdinand's reign.
