Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the County of Barby (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.56g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Wolfgang II, who was a member of the House of Schwarzburg and ruled the County of Barby from 1610 to 1613. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during this time period in a small German state, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
