Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ort coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the coin was minted in 1622, just a few years before the war began. This coin was likely used to help finance the war efforts of Brandenburg-Prussia, which was a major power in the region at the time. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people of Brandenburg-Prussia.
