Comment

Minted during the Seven Years' War

Interesting 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 their allies. 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 war effort, the coin's production was not interrupted, and it continued to be minted throughout the conflict.
