Interesting fact
The ⅔ 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, which includes a shield with three crowns, symbolizing the city's connection to the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
