Interesting fact
The Token ½ Kreuzer was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Palatinate region of Germany. The coin was introduced as a response to the lack of small denomination coins in circulation, which made everyday transactions difficult for ordinary people. The introduction of the Token ½ Kreuzer helped to alleviate this issue and facilitate trade in the region.
