Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1838-1839, a period when the German states were in the process of adopting a standardized currency system, which led to the eventual creation of the German Empire in 1871. The coin's silver content and weight also reflect the efforts of the Nassau government to maintain a stable currency system during this time of transition.
