Interesting fact

The ½ Krone coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Louis II (1864-1869), is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of .900 gold, which means it contains 90% gold and 10% other metals. This high gold content was a common feature of coins minted during this period, and it speaks to the value and wealth of the Kingdom of Bavaria at the time. Additionally, the coin weighs 5.56 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This weight, combined with its gold content, made the ½ Krone a valuable and highly sought-after coin among collectors and merchants.
