Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the conquest of Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) by Frederick William, the "Great Elector" of Brandenburg-Prussia, in 1677. The coin's design features an image of Frederick William on horseback, with the city of Stettin in the background. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted during its time.
