Interesting fact

The ⅓ Thaler coin from the City of Emden (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was experiencing significant economic growth and trade, particularly in the Baltic Sea region. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and an image of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, which symbolizes the prosperity and wealth of the city at that time.
