Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) made of Silver is that it features an image of Philip Louis, the ruling prince of the region, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Bishopric on the other. This coin was minted in 1733 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region during that time.
