One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from County of Mansfeld-Eisleben (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of John George III, who was the Duke of Saxe-Eisenach and Saxe-Coburg from 1662 until his death in 1680. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and his reign saw the construction of numerous buildings and the establishment of several institutions, including the University of Jena. The coin itself is a testament to the economic and cultural significance of the region during this time period.
