Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted between 1866 and 1871, a period when the German states were undergoing rapid industrialization and political transformation. The coin's design, featuring an image of King Louis II on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural tensions of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and highly valued form of currency throughout the region.
