Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne (German States) was minted during the reign of Joseph Clemens, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1693 to 1694. This coin was made of silver and weighed 16.91 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. The coin's design featured an image of the Archbishop on one side and the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors today, making them a valuable piece of numismatic history.
