Comment
Minted during the Seven Years' WarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a major conflict between the Kingdom of Prussia and its allies, and the Austrian Empire, Russia, and Sweden. The coin features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia at the time and played a significant role in the war. Despite the conflict, the coin's production continued, and it remained in circulation throughout the war years, serving as a symbol of Prussia's economic and military strength.
