In KM described as a pattern. This coin was actually struck with plain edge for the start of the reign of Friedrich II.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Frederick II (Konventionstaler) 1798 from Duchy of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia became a major military and economic power, and the Konventionstaler coin was used as a standardized currency across many German states, including Württemberg. This coin is a testament to the economic and political unity that was emerging in Europe during this time period.
