Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued between 1614 and 1616, a period known as the "Kipper und Wipper" era, which saw widespread inflation and currency devaluation due to the Thirty Years' War. Despite this, the Nuremberg ½ Thaler remained a stable and trusted currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity.
