Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from County of Oldenburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1761, just a few years before the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, which would transform the way goods were produced and traded. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, in the coin's minting process was also a common practice during this time period. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin still holds historical significance as a representation of the economic and monetary systems of the time.
