Comment
The vintage 1805 A does not exist, it is certainly mentioned by the SCWC but not by any specialized catalog on the subject (Schön, Neumann, Schrötter, Jaeger, AKS and Olding).Jaeger (# 28) states that it is a period fake.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Reichsthaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1800, just a few years after the French Revolution, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the German States. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its design featuring Frederick William III on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, became a symbol of Prussian power and influence in Europe.
