Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia, minted in 1702 during the reign of Frederick I, features an image of the king on horseback on one side and the Prussian coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 29.12 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Prussia was still a relatively new kingdom, having been established in 1701. The coinage of this period was meant to promote the prestige and power of the new kingdom, and the image of Frederick I on horseback was meant to symbolize the strength and military prowess of the Prussian state.
