Tolar


Tolar is the Czech name for the silver coin mined in Kingdom of Bohemia in the 16th century in Jáchymov. The modern word dollar was derived from the Spanish dollar, so-called in the English-speaking world because they were of similar size and weight to the German Thalers. The German Thalers were so named because they were first minted from a silver mine in 1520 in Joachimsthal. It was the main currency in Bohemia from 1520 to 1750.
