Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler 1699 from County of Henneberg-Ilmenau (German States) is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal split between the upper left and lower right corners, with the upper left portion showing a crowned eagle and the lower right portion displaying a pair of crossed keys. This coat of arms represents the union of the two territories that made up the County of Henneberg-Ilmenau: the County of Henneberg and the Lordship of Ilmenau. The combination of these two territories resulted in a unique and distinctive design that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
