Comment
Variants with armoured bust (973.1) and naked bust (973.2)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 a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family that ruled the principality. During his reign, Charles I implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and increase trade with neighboring regions. The ⅔ Thaler coin was a key part of this system, and it remained in circulation for many years, becoming a popular and trusted form of currency among merchants and traders. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today, with many examples still in existence and highly prized by numismatists.
