Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler "½ Konventionstaler" coin from the Archbishopric of Mainz is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1765, just a few years before the outbreak of the American Revolution, and during a period of increased trade and commerce between European nations. This coin, made of silver, was used as a standard unit of currency in the German States and was valued at half of a Thaler, which was the standard currency of the time. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
