The two-thirds thaler denomination was a peculiarly North German invention, emerging from the monetary conventions hammered out at the Leipzig Coinage Convention of 1690, which established the two-thirds thaler as a practical trading coin calibrated to the Reichsthaler standard. Brunswick-Lüneburg was among its most prolific issuers. George III, as Elector of Hanover, nominally presided over this coinage from London — a ruler who never once set foot in his German electorate after inheriting it in 1760.
The Welter 2808 reference places this firmly within the Calenberg-Hannover administrative mint output, struck at Clausthal.
