Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Prince-provostry of Ellwangen (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.02 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Anthony Ignatius of Fugger-Glött, who was a prominent figure in the German States during the 18th century. He was known for his influence in politics, economy, and religion, and his family was one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the region. The coin's design and minting were likely overseen by him, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of the time.
