Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Norburg-Plön (German States) made of Silver weighing 16.11 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1690, during the reign of John Adolphus, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Norburg-Plön. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, and many German states were struggling with debt and inflation. Despite these challenges, the ⅔ Thaler coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of Europe during the 17th century.
