Comment
Also known as Demi-realInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Silver Real - Charles V ND (1529-1535) from Lordship of Overijssel (Dutch States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, and its production was likely influenced by the economic and monetary policies of the time. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it allowed for the creation of coins that were lighter and less expensive to produce than those made of pure silver. Despite its relatively low value, this coin is still a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the complex economic and political systems of medieval Europe.
