Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Weißpfennig coin is that it was minted during the reign of John II of Baden, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1481 to 1503. This coin was used as a means of payment in the German States during that time and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material.
