Interesting fact
The ½ Guldiner coin was minted during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Wise, who was the Elector Palatine from 1522 to 1527. He was a member of the House of Wittelsbach and played an important role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire during his time. The coin's design features an image of Frederick II on one side and the coat of arms of the Upper Palatinate on the other. The coin's silver content and weight of 14.75 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
