Comment
Há.XIII.e/6 / XVI.a/1Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique gilded design, which sets it apart from other coins of its time. The gilding process involved applying a thin layer of gold to the silver coin, creating a striking contrast between the two metals. This technique was used to highlight certain details of the coin's design, such as the king's crown and the coat of arms, and to give the coin a luxurious and regal appearance. The use of gilding on this coin reflects the wealth and power of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the reign of Vladislaus II.
