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 Charles I, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1735 until his death in 1740. During this time, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, began to mint 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 principality. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
