Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Olomouc (Kingdom of Bohemia) made of Silver is that it features an image of Franz von Dietrichstein, the Bishop of Olomouc, on one side, and the Bohemian lion on the other. This coin was minted during the Thirty Years War, a time of great turmoil and conflict in Europe, and its production was likely a way for the Bishopric to finance its military efforts and maintain economic stability. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's intricate design and craftsmanship have survived for centuries, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region.
