Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1⅓ Reichsthaler "Speziethaler" coin from Anhalt-Köthen is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1751, just a few years before the Seven Years' War, which had a significant impact on the German states and their economies. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and artistic values of the time.
