Comment
Coin minted at the Berlin mint (different A) Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Silbergroschen coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The coin was introduced in 1841 as part of a new currency system aimed at addressing the economic crisis caused by the failed Revolutions of 1848. Despite the challenges, the coin remained in circulation until 1852, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Prussia during a time of economic uncertainty.
