Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of John George II of Saxony, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms. He introduced a new coinage system based on the silver standard, which replaced the previous system based on the gold standard. The ⅔ Thaler coin was one of the first coins minted under this new system, and it was widely used throughout the German States.
