Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.27g 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.
