I have what appears to be a ⅓ Reichsthaler of Frederick II. It closely resembles this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27222.html



The problem is that it doesn't appear to be silver, it has a diameter of about 28mm and it only weighs 6.8g. So it couldn't be the one in the Numista catalogue. Does anyone know what this is?

Απόσπασμα: "PetrusAscanus"​- it is only .666 silver

​Wear could reduce the weight of a coin by around 1.5 grams? That's around 20% of the original weight. Wow, that's much more than I'd expect.

Thanks.

No that's much too big of a difference for both the diameter and weight. It could however be a contemporary counterfeit.
