This is the oldest dated thaler, preceded in 1484 by the halfguldiner. Archduke Sigismund had already produced gold florins in large numbers, but the Schwaz silver mine was yielding a huge amount. So the idea for a big silver coin worth a gold guilder arose. However, these coins did not get their name until the beginning of the 16th century, the "Joachimstalers", later called Talers, which were coined in the Bohemian Joachimstal by the Counts Schlick. With a 1:12 ratio of gold to silver, a large silver coin of 31.9g (29.9g fine) was produced.
