Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler 1728 from Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the canton. This design was used on several coins issued by the Republic of Obwalden during this time period, and it has become a distinctive feature that collectors and numismatists look for when identifying these coins.
