Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify that it was made of pure silver, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time. The hole also served as a way to test the authenticity of the coin, as it was difficult to counterfeit a coin with a small hole in the center. This feature makes the ⅔ Thaler coin stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
