The Répertoire des Monnaies Napoléonides says (p. 106) that the mintage for this piece was 729,696 for 1813. It describes the coin as follows:
SECHSER (½ Groschen) (1/48 Taler) (1er type).
Métal: Billon 250 ‰ Poids: 0,97 g.
ø: 17 mm    
 
D / Armes couronnées posées sur deux palmes, en dessous lettre F.
R / 48 - EINEN - THALER - 1813.

The mintage was noted: Y compris pièce suivante. So it implies that the mintage for 1813 is included in the number for 1812. This is the less common S mintmaster (Studer) variety. It measures about 1mm small.
