Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ernest August, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg from 1689 to 1693. During his reign, Ernest August implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and increase trade in the region. The ⅔ Thaler coin was a key part of this new system, and it remains a valuable and interesting artifact for collectors and historians today.
