halve taler; twee eenheden, noodmunt uit Frankenthal, geslagen tijdens het beleg door Verdugo 1623

This silver coin, created in 1623 by an anonymous artist, is a "Noodmunt" or emergency coin, struck during the siege of Frankenthal. The obverse features a circular inscription with a triangle in the center. It was minted in response to a lack of circulating currency due to the siege, highlighting the economic hardships of war. The coin's small size and simple design reflect its utilitarian purpose as a temporary solution to a monetary crisis.
