Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace (Austrian States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Leopold V, who was the Archduke of Austria and the King of Hungary and Bohemia. The coin features an image of Leopold V on one side and the coat of arms of Upper Alsace on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was significant because it was a valuable and durable metal, making the coin a symbol of wealth and power. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the 17th century makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
