Interesting fact

The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, minted in 1623 during the reign of Wolfgang William, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material for coinage at the time. This coin was also part of a series of coins minted during Wolfgang William's reign that featured a unique design, including a portrait of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Neuburg on the other. Additionally, the ½ Kreuzer denomination was an important one in the German States, as it was a widely used coin for everyday transactions.
