Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia, minted in 1706 during the reign of Frederick I, was made of silver and had a unique feature - it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of the ruling monarch, Frederick I, on one side, and an image of the Prussian eagle on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional coin designs of the time, which often featured religious symbols or allegorical figures. The inclusion of the monarch's portrait signified the growing power and influence of the Prussian state, and marked a shift towards more secular and nationalistic themes in coin design.
