Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Bernhard II, who was the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen from 1843 to 1846. During this period, the German states were in the process of adopting a standardized currency, and the ½ Gulden coin was part of this effort. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency with other coins in circulation, demonstrating the attention to detail and standardization that was a hallmark of this period in German history.
