Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of August William, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1714 to 1716. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, began to issue their own coins. The ⅔ Thaler coin was one of the first coins minted by Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the region. Despite its relatively small size, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high value and made it a popular trade coin. Today, the ⅔ Thaler coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and it serves as a reminder of the rich history and economic development of the region during the early 18th century.
