Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 4Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Henry VIII of Bibra (Konventionshalbtaler) 1762 from Bishopric of Fulda (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Henry VIII, who was the Prince-Bishop of Fulda from 1762 to 1787. During his reign, Henry VIII implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and promote trade within the region. The coin itself is made of silver (.833) and weighs 13.86 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
