Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1858, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of Germany's unification under Prussian leadership. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic growth and industrialization in Germany, which led to an increased demand for coinage. The ½ Gulden coin was an important part of everyday commerce during this time and remains a valuable collector's item today.
