Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the County of Barby (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the fact that this coin was minted in a smaller denomination of 1/24 suggests that it was intended for everyday use by common people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the coin's intended longevity and the value placed on it by the people who used it.
