Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruler of the duchy at the time, on one side, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1739 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was commonly used for coins during that time period.
