Interesting fact

The ⅔ Thaler coin from Principality of Anhalt-Harzgerode was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1695, during the reign of William, the Prince of Anhalt-Harzgerode. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire was still a dominant power in Central Europe, and the German States were struggling to maintain their independence and economic stability. Despite these challenges, the ⅔ Thaler coin remained a popular form of currency throughout the region, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity.
