Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Zürich was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who was instrumental in introducing the first standardized coinage system across the Holy Roman Empire. The ½ Thaler coin was part of this system and was used widely in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite being minted over 300 years ago, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors.
