Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1865, just a few years before the formation of the German Empire in 1871, which united various German states, including Württemberg, under a single government. The coin's design, featuring an image of King Charles I, symbolized the kingdom's independence and sovereignty, while its copper composition reflected the country's efforts to modernize its economy and align with other European powers.
