Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Krone coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1858, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in 1834, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's mintage was also during the reign of Frederick William IV, who was known for his liberal policies and support for German unification. The coin's design, featuring an image of the king on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolized the growing sense of national identity and unity among the German states during this period.
