Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from County of Oldenburg (German States) made in 1690 is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian V, who was the Duke of Oldenburg from 1670 to 1693. During his rule, he implemented several economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and promote trade. The ⅔ Thaler coin was part of this new system and was widely used in the region for many years.
