Comment
HFH = Heinrich Friedrich HalterInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick William I, who was known as the "Soldier King" for his military reforms and conquests. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Prussian state. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and its weight of 16.81 grams made it a substantial and valuable coin in circulation.
