Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted in 1630, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination in the German States, and this particular coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Ferdinand II, who was instrumental in shaping the Holy Roman Empire's monetary policies. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 14.50g make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
