Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted between 1549 and 1550, a period when the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum, and the Empire was facing political and religious upheaval. Despite these challenges, the City of Strasbourg continued to mint coins, like the ½ Thaler, which were used for trade and commerce. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Strasbourg during a time of great turmoil.
