Unlisted in KMInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Halberstadt (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the fact that this coin was minted in Halberstadt, which was an important trading center, suggests that it may have been used in trade and commerce throughout the region. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, indicates that it was a high-quality coin that was meant to be used for a long time.
