a silver coin used throughout Europe for almost four hundred years

Its name lives on in various currencies as the dollar or tolar

Etymologically, "Thaler" is an abbreviation of "Joachimsthaler", a coin type from the city of Joachimsthal in Bohemia, where some of the first such coins were minted in 1518

The roots and development of the Thaler-sized silver coin date back to the mid-1400s

By 1518 guldiners were popping up everywhere in central Europe

The zenith of Thaler minting occurred in the late 16th and 17th centuries with the so-called "multiple Thalers", often called Lösers in Germany

Examples of German and Austrian Thalers compared to a US quarter piece (bottom center)

In the Netherlands, the daalder and rijksdaalder circulated alongside the gulden at values of 1½ and 2½ gulden

introduced and became the most widespread currency in Scandinavia under the name daler during the early 17th century

As silver flooded into the European economy from domestic and overseas sources, Thalers and Thaler-sized coins were minted all over with equivalent coins such as the crown, daalder from which the English word dollar is derived, krona, and from 1497,

No currency currently in circulation is named thaler
