Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Matthias II (Prague) ND (1612-1619) coin from Kingdom of Bohemia is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of St. Wenceslas, the patron saint of Bohemia, while on the other side, it features the coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty, which ruled the kingdom at the time. This blending of religious and political imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of Bohemia during the early 17th century.
