Interesting fact

The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.34g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Europe, yet the coin still maintains its value and historical significance.
