Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "LF" (for Louis Frederick) surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the image of the Duke himself. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic value.
