Comment
Slg. Wurster 1815Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen coin from the City of Schwäbisch Hall (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.97 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is an example of the efforts to create a standardized currency, which was a significant development in the history of numismatics.
