| Additional information |
Charles William inherited the Lordship of Jever through the Anhalt-Zerbst line in 1667, a small but strategically positioned territory on the North Sea coast that had passed through several hands across the preceding century. His coinage tenure was brief — he died in 1667, making these 1671–1676 dated issues almost certainly struck posthumously under the administration of his successors managing the estate, a not uncommon arrangement for minor German lordships settling territorial succession.
The 1/3 Thaler denomination itself reflects the fragmented currency conventions of the Holy Roman Empire after the Leipzig Foot of 1690 had not yet rationalized north German silver coinage.
