The emission of a half was started in 1614 for the purposes of trade with Brandenburg, and then with Silesia. The drawing of the reverse with a characteristic apple resembled German pennies (Apfelgroschen). The denomination was on the coin in two places. The number "24" placed in an apple meant that one and a half was 1/24 part of Talar (in fact, its value was lower). In turn, the number "3" at the bottom of the skills meant that the coin was worth 3 half -grosze.
Lithuanian and a half was broadcast by the Vilnius mint, while the city - Ryska.
