Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The 1760s saw the rise of mercantilism, a economic system that emphasized the accumulation of wealth and power through trade and colonization. This movement led to the creation of new trade routes, the establishment of colonies, and the minting of new coins like the 5 Thalers - Frederick William of Westfalen (Pistole) to facilitate trade and commerce.
