Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free City of Regensburg, minted in 1774, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a standardized design across multiple German states. The coin's design was agreed upon by the various German states at the Vienna Coinage Convention in 1764, which aimed to create a uniform system of coinage across the region. This standardization made trade and commerce easier and more efficient, as merchants and traders could easily recognize and accept the coins.
