Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Matthias II (Three emperors) ND (1612-1619) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique triangular shape, which was a distinctive feature of thalers minted during the reign of Matthias II. This shape was chosen to symbolize the unity of the three emperors - Ferdinand II, Maximilian I, and Matthias II - who ruled the Holy Roman Empire during that time. The coin's design also includes an image of the three emperors on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border and various symbols and motifs that reflect the political and religious themes of the time.
