Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1680 during the reign of Frederick William, was made of silver and weighed 29.14 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design featured an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Brandenburg on the other, symbolizing the union between the two territories. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity, demonstrating the advanced minting techniques and economic policies of the time.
