Comment
Mintmaster - Caspar Gottlieb LaufferInteresting fact
The 1746 ½ Thaler (Klippe) from the City of Schwäbisch Hall (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, who was struggling to maintain the power and influence of the Holy Roman Empire in the face of growing nationalism and territorial conflicts. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate details and designs that reflect the artistic and cultural traditions of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 15.09g speaks to the coin's value and significance as a medium of exchange and store of value during this period.
