Description
The ½ Gulden exonumia piece, dated 1875, showcases a left-facing portrait of CARL HEINRICH KNORR, notable for his life span from 1800 to 1875. The obverse is inscribed with "CARL HEINRICH KNORR 1800-1875 WURTTEMBERG", paying tribute to Knorr's Wurttemberg association. Contrasting the obverse, the reverse intricately presents the denomination "1/2 GULDEN" and the incongruous date "1838" nestled within an oak wreath. The coin’s true date of 1875 resonates with the concluding year of Knorr’s life.
