Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of independence for Poland, which was otherwise under foreign rule for much of its history. The Duchy of Warsaw was established in 1807 as a client state of Napoleon's France, and it was during this time that the ⅙ Thaler coin was minted. The coin features an image of Frederick Augustus I, the ruler of Saxony and the Duchy of Warsaw, and it was made of silver with a weight of 4.9 grams. Despite its relatively short existence, the Duchy of Warsaw played an important role in Polish history and the ⅙ Thaler coin serves as a reminder of this period.
