Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 6, 7Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Fulda is that it features an image of Adalbert III of Harstall, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1788 to 1802. The coin was minted in 1796, during his reign, and it is made of silver with a purity of .833. It weighs 14 grams and is a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used in the German States during that time period.
