Prev. KM#1440.1Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features an image of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, with a long beard and wearing a crown. The reverse side features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which includes a shield with the symbols of the three kingdoms that made up the Habsburg Monarchy: Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia. The shield is surrounded by a wreath and topped with a crown. This coin is interesting because it highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the Habsburg Monarchy. The coin's design reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists. Additionally, the coin's age and rarity make it a unique piece of history that provides a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the past.
