Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1692 during the reign of Frederick III, features an error in its design. The coin was intended to have a portrait of Frederick III on one side and an image of a crowned eagle on the other. However, due to a mistake by the engraver, the eagle was depicted with a crown on its head, which was not the standard design for the Brandenburg-Prussian eagle at the time. This error has made the coin a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
