Comment
In 1741, Frederick II became a knight of the Order of the Garter, hence the presence of the order's motto on the reverse here.
Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He was a highly influential leader who modernized the Prussian army and implemented various reforms that helped to strengthen the country's economy and culture. The coin's design was likely created to commemorate his reign and to promote the use of the Thaler currency in the region.
