Interesting fact
The ⅓ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who ruled Brandenburg-Prussia from 1640 to 1688. This coin was part of a series of reforms he implemented to modernize the state's economy and military. The coin's design featured the image of the Elector himself, and its silver content was meant to symbolize the state's wealth and prosperity. Despite its age, some of these coins are still highly sought after by collectors today, and they can fetch high prices at auction.
