Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of Saint Philip, while on the other side, it features the coat of arms of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg. This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the early 17th century.
