Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Europe. The Kingdom of Württemberg was a small state located in what is now southern Germany, and it was ruled by King William I, who was a member of the House of Württemberg. The coin was minted in 1818, which was just a few years after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, which had a profound impact on Europe and led to a period of political and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Württemberg was able to maintain its independence and continue to mint its own coins, such as this ½ Kreuzer coin.
