Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Rudolph, 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 1737 and was made of silver, weighing 14.35 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used for everyday transactions.
