| Aanvullende informatie |
The Counts of Schlick occupy an uncomfortable place in Bohemian monetary history. It was Stephan Schlick who, in the early sixteenth century, began mining the silver deposits at Joachimsthal and striking the large coins that would bear his valley's name — Joachimsthaler, shortened eventually to "thaler," and from there to "dollar." By 1627, however, the family's fortunes had collapsed. The Battle of White Mountain in 1620 ended the Bohemian revolt, and Habsburg retribution was swift and thorough.
This ducat was struck just seven years after the Schlick estates were sequestered and the family's minting rights effectively curtailed under imperial pressure.
