Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin was used as a means of payment in the German States of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover during the reign of George II August (1740-1760). It was made of silver and weighed 12.95 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Despite its relatively small size, the coin was widely accepted and used in trade and commerce throughout the region. Its design featured an image of George II August on one side and the coat of arms of the German States on the other. Today, the ⅔ Thaler coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of German currency.
