Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted in 1629, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination across the German States, and this particular coin was minted during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, who was instrumental in the counter-reformation and the Thirty Years' War. Additionally, the coin's silver content and minting technique were of high quality, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
