Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, minted during the reign of Matthias II (1613-1619) and made of silver, features an interesting fact. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Bohemian lion, which was a symbol of the kingdom and represented the power and strength of its rulers. The lion is depicted holding a shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, indicating the royal lineage of Matthias II. This design element serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Bohemia during that time.
