Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the first king of Prussia and worked to centralize and modernize the state's economy and government. The coin's design, which features an image of Frederick III on one side and the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other, reflects the new kingdom's growing power and influence in Europe.
