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 1623 to 1638. He was a member of the House of Habsburg and was known for his strong support of the Catholic Church and his efforts to suppress Protestantism in his territories. The coin's design includes a portrait of Ferdinand II on one side and an image of the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. This coin was circulated during a time of great turmoil in Europe, including the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and had a significant impact on the Kingdom of Bohemia. Despite the challenges of this time period, the 1 Thaler coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the region.
