Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Frederick d'Or coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Prussia. The coin was introduced in 1853, just a few years after Prussia had adopted the gold standard, and it was intended to be used as a standard circulation coin. However, due to the economic and political instability of the time, the coin was not widely accepted and had a limited circulation. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with its gold content and historical significance making it a sought-after addition to many coin collections.
