Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from Archbishopric of Magdeburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of August of Sachsen-Weissenfels, who was the ruling Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels from 1656 until his death in 1680. The coin was minted in 1676, during his reign, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
