Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from Hohenzollern-Prussia is that it features an image of Frederick William IV, who was the King of Prussia from 1840 until his death in 1861. He was known for his support of the arts and sciences, and his reign saw the construction of many notable buildings and landmarks throughout Prussia. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of the king on one side and an eagle on the other, was created by the artist and engraver, Julius Troschel.
