Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, on one side, and an image of an eagle on the other. This coin was minted during Frederick II's reign, which lasted from 1740 to 1786, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Prussian monarchy, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
