Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Carolin coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Eberhard Louis (1731-1733), who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of the duchy. The coin's gold content and relatively low weight made it a popular choice for trade and commerce, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
