But is was Joachimtal in Czech lands,
where the tolars were coined.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar

On 15 January 1520, the Czech Kingdom of Bohemia began minting coins
from silver mined locally in Joachimsthal (Czech Jáchymov) and marked on
reverse with the Czech lion. The coins were called "''Joachimsthaler'',"
which became shortened in common usage to thaler or taler. The German
name "Joachimsthal" literally means "Joachim's valley" or "Joachim's dale".

This name found its way into other languages: Czech tolar, Hungarian
tallér, Danish and Norwegian (rigs) daler, Swedish (riks) daler,
Icelandic dalur, Dutch (rijks)daalder or daler, Ethiopian ታላሪ
("talari"), Italian tallero, Polish talar, Persian dare, as well as -
via Dutch - into English as dollar.[1]

A later Dutch coin depicting also a lion was called the leeuwendaler or
leeuwendaalder, literally 'lion daler'. The Dutch Republic produced
these coins to accommodate its booming international trade. The
leeuwendaler circulated throughout the Middle East and was imitated in
several German and Italian cities. This coin was also popular in the
Dutch East Indies and in the Dutch New Netherland Colony (New York). It
was in circulation throughout the Thirteen Colonies during the 17th and
early 18th centuries and was popularly known as "lion (or lyon)
dollar".[2][3] The currencies of Romania and Bulgaria are, to this day,
'lion' (leu/leva). The modern American-English pronunciation of dollar
is still remarkably close to the 17th century Dutch pronunciation of
daler.[4] Some well-worn examples circulating in the Colonies were known
as "dog dollars".[5]
