Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1831 during the reign of Francis I, is that it was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Francis's accession to the throne. The coin's design features an image of Francis I on the obverse side, surrounded by the inscription "FRANCISCUS I D G AUSTRIAE IMPERATOR" (Francis I, by the grace of God, Emperor of Austria). The reverse side of the coin features the Austrian coat of arms and the denomination "1/2 THALER". This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Austrian Empire.
