Comments
The reference Schön DM# A67 is listed under Schlesien (Silesia). There is a similar reference Schön DM# A30 under Prußen (East Prussia, Schön DM using the Brandenburg listings for most coins the SCWC attributes to Prussia), but that description doesn't mention the C mint mark and is only for 1756.
The comment below, including the "O#359a.", comes from the Standard Catalog of World Coins.
O#359a.
Although the 'C' mintmark normally designated Cleves, these coins were struck in Berlin, Aurich, Magdeburg and Königsberg, as well as Cleves.
