Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, featuring Maria Theresia and minted between 1758-1759, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the soldiers of the Austrian army during the Seven Years' War. This coin was widely accepted and trusted, and its value was equivalent to a month's salary for a soldier. This highlights the coin's significance in the context of military history and the value it held for the people who used it.
