Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1642 during the reign of Frederick William, was used as a means of payment for the soldiers of the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War. This coin was chosen because of its high silver content and its durability, which made it a reliable and valuable form of currency during a time of great economic and political instability in Europe.
