Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Silbergroschen coin from Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1858, during a period of economic downturn and inflation, and was intended to help alleviate the financial struggles of the working class. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, which gave it a higher value than other coins of similar denominations. This made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it remained in circulation for many years.
