The ⅔ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg (German States) was minted during the reign of Johann Friedrich, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1665 until his death in 1679. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Brunswick-Lüneburg family on the other. It was made of silver and weighed 14.34 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
