Interesting fact

The ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Sulz (German States) was minted in 1675 during the reign of John Louis, and it features an image of the ruler on one side and the coat of arms of the county on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. In fact, the use of silver in coins was a symbol of wealth and power, and it was often reserved for coins of high denominations or special issues. The fact that this coin was made of silver suggests that it was an important issue for the County of Sulz and that it was intended to be used for significant transactions or as a store of value.
