Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is that it was minted during a time of great political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1838, just a year before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread unrest and political upheaval across Europe. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained in circulation until 1848, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in German history.
