Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Stephen, the last member of the House of Schlick, who ruled over the Kingdom of Bohemia. The coin features an image of Stephen on one side and the coat of arms of the Schlick family on the other. The coin's design and the fact that it was minted to commemorate the death of a ruler make it a unique and interesting piece of history.
