Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1861, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which would eventually lead to the unification of Germany under the rule of Prussia. The coin's design, featuring an image of King William I, symbolized the power and authority of the Prussian monarchy during this period of transition.
