Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of John Hugh, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1690 to 1691. It's made of silver and features an image of the Archbishop on one side, and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin's design and the materials used to make it reflect the values and wealth of the time, and it's a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the era.
