Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler (½ Konventionstaler) coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1774, just a few years before the outbreak of the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the economic history of Europe during this period.
