Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Habsburg Empire. The coin was minted in Hall, which is now a part of Austria, and was a significant trading center during the time. The ½ Thaler denomination was a common coinage value during the era, and this particular coin is a rare and valuable example of a silver coin from the Austrian Empire.
