Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Reichsort 1628 from City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Einbeck, in particular, was an important trading center and minting coins was a way for them to stimulate trade and commerce. The ½ Reichsort coin was a standard denomination at the time and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
