Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.16g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the local authorities and would have been used as a means of exchange and commerce within the empire.
