Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a "mule" coin, meaning that it was minted with the obverse (front) die of one coin and the reverse (back) die of another coin, resulting in a unique combination that is not typically found in standard circulation coins. This particular coin features the obverse of a ⅙ Thaler coin minted in 1758 for Victor II Frederick, the ruler of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, and the reverse of a 1758 Seven Years' War coin, which was a common design used during that time period. This mule coin is a rare and interesting variation that collectors may find valuable.
