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 in the German States during that time. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of John Frederick himself on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint-condition specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
