Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin was minted during a time of great economic change in the German States. The coinage system was transitioning from a base-metal standard to a silver standard, and this coin was one of the first silver coins to be minted in the region. Its mintage was limited, and it was primarily used for large transactions, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
