Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1838, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread political unrest and the overthrow of several European monarchies. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained in circulation until 1856, when it was replaced by a new currency. This fact highlights the coin's resilience and the enduring legacy of the Kingdom of Württemberg, even in the face of significant historical events.
