Comment
Sometimes described as ½ Thaler because of its size (about half of a German thaler).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Lion Daler" coin is that it features an image of a lion on one side and a portrait of Ferdinand of Bavaria on the other, which was a unique design choice for a coin during that time period.
