Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many cities and states were struggling to rebuild and reestablish their economies. The City of Schwäbisch Hall, in particular, was known for its rich trading history and its location along the River Kocher, which made it an important hub for commerce. The minting of the ½ Kreuzer coin was likely a response to the need for a reliable and standardized form of currency during this time of economic growth and change.
