Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick William I, who was known as the "Soldier King" for his military reforms and conquests. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's strength and power.
