This anonymous engraving, titled "Penning met een embleem en de namen van de Boheemse koningen", dates back to the early 18th century (1711-1720). The circular design presents a visual representation of the history of Bohemian kings. At the center of the design, a figure representing God, with wings and a halo, appears in the clouds, showering the earth below with rays of light. A scene depicting two men working in the field, one plowing with a yoke of oxen and the other sowing seeds, symbolizes the connection between the Kings and the people of Bohemia. Surrounding this central scene is a detailed chart listing the names of the Bohemian kings, their dates of reign, and the corresponding numbers of electors. The engraving serves as a historical record and visual reminder of the reign of Bohemian kings.
