Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Charles XII of Sweden, who was known for his military conquests and territorial expansion. The coin was minted in the Swedish dominion of Pomerania, which was a region in northern Germany that was under Swedish rule at the time. The coin's design features an image of Charles XII on one side and the coat of arms of Pomerania on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in other coins of the time, making it a unique and valuable piece in the history of numismatics.
