Comment
Minted with dies used also for ¼ Thalers.Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace (Austrian States) minted in 1626 during the reign of Leopold V is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the tolls collected on the Rhine River, which was an important trade route during that time. This coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region and is a testament to the economic and political importance of the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace during the 17th century.
