Interesting fact

The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Jena, minted during the reign of Bernhard II (1673-1674), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Jena, which includes a shield with a lion and a griffin, symbolizing the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
