Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler - Frederick II (Mule) ND (1752) coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two different portraits of King Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side shows a younger portrait of the king, while the reverse side features an older portrait. This design is known as a "mule" and was created by accident when two different dies were paired together, resulting in a rare and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
