Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted in 1694, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin reflect the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region, and the need for a reliable and consistent medium of exchange. Additionally, the coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of its independence and prosperity, highlights the pride and autonomy of the Free City of Augsburg during this period.
