Comment
Regenstein mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who was a prominent figure in German history. He was instrumental in modernizing the country's economy, military, and administration, and his rule saw the establishment of the first Prussian mint in Berlin. The coin itself is made of silver and features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Brandenburg on the other. It was widely used in trade and commerce during its time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
