Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Charles Theodore of Dalberg (½ Konventionstaler) 1809 coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Germany. The Confederation of the Rhine, which was formed in 1806, was a loose alliance of German states that was established under the protection of Napoleon's France. This coin was minted in 1809, just a year before the Confederation was dissolved and replaced by the German Confederation, which lasted until 1866. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany during this time period.
