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 political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1792, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European political landscape. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic upheaval, as the value of silver was fluctuating and the use of paper money was becoming more widespread. Despite these challenges, the ½ Thaler coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in the German States.
