Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the first king of Prussia and ruled from 1690 to 1696. During his reign, Frederick III implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the economy and increase trade in the region. The ⅔ Thaler coin was part of this new coinage system and was widely used throughout the German States.
