Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the fact that this coin was minted in a smaller denomination of ½ Thaler suggests that it was intended for everyday use by common people, rather than being a collector's item. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the coin's intended longevity and the value placed on it by the people who used it.
