Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted during the reign of Heinrich 1641-1642, was made of silver and features an image of the Counts of Schlick on one side and the Bohemian lion on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans of the time.
