Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric on the reverse side, which was not commonly seen on coins of that time. This shield was added to signify the coin's origin and authenticity, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
