Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - William IX (½ Biberer Ausbeutetaler) coin from County of Hanau-Münzenberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1769-1770, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. This change is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of William IX, the Count of Hanau-Münzenberg, on one side, and an image of a beaver on the other. The beaver was a symbol of industry and commerce, and its inclusion on the coin highlights the growing importance of trade and entrepreneurship in the region at that time.
