Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features an image of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time, on one side, and the Bohemian lion on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in Prague, which was then the capital of Bohemia, and was known for its beautiful architecture, art, and literature.
