Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Matthias II (Prague) 1611-1612 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This was a nod to the powerful Habsburg dynasty, which had ruled over the region for centuries and was a symbol of their influence and power.
