Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the City of Neuss (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a sailing ship on the reverse side, which symbolizes the city's connection to the Rhine River and its importance as a trading hub.
