Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it features an image of John Ernest II, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the importance of the duchy's ruling family and their efforts to maintain power and influence during this period.
