Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Guldenthaler coin is that it was minted during the reign of Andreas of Austria, who was the Abbot of the Imperial Abbeys of Murbach and Lüders in the German States. The coin features an image of Andreas on one side and the coat of arms of the abbeys on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted by a religious institution during the Renaissance period.
