Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Rudolf II (Kuttenberg) 1603-1611 from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Bohemian lion on the left and the Habsburg eagle on the right, symbolizing the union between the two dynasties. This design was specifically chosen by Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia at the time, to highlight his royal lineage and authority. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern European coinage and is highly sought after by collectors and historians.
