Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who was instrumental in introducing a new currency system across the Holy Roman Empire. The ½ Kreuzer coin was part of this new system and was used widely in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy and is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
