Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia from 1564 to 1576. He was a member of the House of Habsburg and was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote religious tolerance in his territories. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by the Imperial Mint in Prague, which was established during Maximilian's reign and became a major center for coin production in Central Europe.
