Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Maximilian II (Joachimstal) 1573-1576 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was used as a means of payment for the miners who worked in the Joachimstal region, which is now known as Jáchymov in the Czech Republic. The coin was minted in silver and was valued at one thaler, which was a significant amount at the time. The coin's design features an image of Maximilian II, the Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. The coin's use as a means of payment for miners highlights the importance of mining in the region during this time period.
