Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin was minted during a time of great economic change in the German States. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was one of the first states to adopt the Thaler as its standard currency, and the coin was widely used for trade and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver and weighed 16g suggests that it was a valuable and reliable form of currency, and its design and minting process were overseen by skilled craftsmen to ensure its authenticity and quality.
