Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarThis hitherto unknown war coinage from the year 1759 was created by using the dies of the last 1/6 thaler 1756 A of the peacetime. The fact that the stamps of the 1/6 thaler of the year 1756 were used again shows that only relatively few were minted with them in the year of the beginning of the war. This is also evidenced by the great rarity of the 1/6 thaler 1756 A.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - Frederick II (Seven Years' War) 1759 coin from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War, which was a major conflict between Prussia and Austria, among other European powers. The coin's design features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia at the time and played a significant role in the war. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
