| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Joachim standing in the field, clad in a long robe and cloak, holding a staff or scepter in his right hand; the date 15-26 is divided to either side of the figure at mid-field. A crowned coat of arms of the Schlick family is depicted below the saint. The circular legend surrounding the central design reads in Latin, with the mint mark and abbreviated titles of the issuing counts. The overall style is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered coinage, with bold, high-relief die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Schlick family began striking these large silver coins from metal mined in the Joachimsthal valley of Bohemia around 1519–1520, exploiting a vein so productive it briefly made them among the wealthiest noble houses in Central Europe. The coins took their name from the valley — Joachimsthaler, eventually shortened to Thaler — and that word would propagate across two centuries and two continents to become "dollar."
The Imperial authorities were uncomfortable with a noble family controlling such a mint, and by 1528 the Habsburgs moved to bring the Joachimsthal operation under crown supervision. This 1526 strike falls in the last years of independent Schlick production.
