Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. On one side, the coin bears the image of St. George slaying a dragon, a common motif in medieval art and symbolism. On the other side, the coin features the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Bohemia at the time. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time and highlights the close relationship between the church and state in the region.
