Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Polish Succession (1733-1738). Despite the conflict, the Principality of Hohenzollern-Hechingen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including this ½ Carolin.
