Interesting fact

The ⅔ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of John Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, in 1679. It was made of silver and was a standard circulation coin during that time. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Margrave on one side and the coat of arms of the Margraviate on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in the German States during the 17th century.
