2022 Gold 1/25 Oz Bullion Coin Thaler, The Czech Mint’s bullion coin minted from one twenty-fifthof a troy ounce of fine gold will remind you of this incredible story. A lightning rod, a propeller, blood groups, genetics, contact lenses, sugar cubes and the word robot – all this is the work of our ingenious compatriots. But it is a little-known fact that we have also given the world its most famous and respected currency. Which is it? The dollar! Somewhere in Texas, no one probably knows that the roots of their famous currency go back to a mountain town in a small country in the heart of Europe. That’s why it’s worth remembering a forgotten Czech heritage whose history began five hundred years ago… The Jáchymov thaler was a silver coin that originated in the Czech Kingdom in 1520. It was an exceptionally high quality currency that spread throughout Europe and its success prompted the minting of many imitations. The Bohemian tolar became, for example, the Dutch daler, which was used for payment in the American colonies, among other places. Another corruption of the Czech word was the dollar.
