Comment
Stutzm. 842aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it features an image of Frederick August, the ruling Duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the Nassau coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1809, during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, and its design reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Duchy of Nassau during that period.
