In the early 16th century a large silver deposit was discovered in a Bohemian valley at the Konstantin silver mines. The valley, or “thal” in contemporary German, was named in honor of Saint Joachim and became known as Joachimsthal (Jáchymov, Czechia) which lends its name to the Joachimsthaler currency.
