Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Counts of Windisch-Grätz (Austrian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1777, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the political and social landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and it weighed 13.5 grams, making it a substantial coin.
