Comment
Mintmaster IWS - Johann Wilhelm SchlemmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - George III (⅙ Ausbeutetaler) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted during the reign of George III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820. During this time, the German States were undergoing significant political and economic changes, including the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the formation of the Confederation of the Rhine. Despite these changes, the ⅙ Thaler - George III coin remained a widely used and respected form of currency throughout the region.
