Comment
Mintmaster Anthonius KoburgerInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of George III (1545-1548), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the House of Leuchtenberg, the ruling family of the region.
