Comment
Listed by Krause as a Pattern but this piece is in fact simply a commemorative coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1712 Imperial coronation ½ Ducat from City of Schwäbisch Hall is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Charles VI as the Holy Roman Emperor, which took place on October 22, 1712, in Frankfurt am Main. The coin's design features an image of the Emperor on one side and the coat of arms of Schwäbisch Hall on the other. The coin's mintage was limited to only 1,000 pieces, making it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
