Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electorate of Württemberg is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He was a prominent figure in European history and known for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements. The coin was minted in 1805, more than 50 years after Frederick's death, which suggests that his legacy continued to be celebrated and honored even after his passing.
