Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1793, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The ½ Thaler coin, made of silver, was a standard circulation coin in the German States and was used for everyday transactions. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its design and mintage continued to be used for many years after its introduction.
