Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted during the reign of Frederick William (1677-1678), was part of a series of coins known as the "Thaler" series, which was introduced in 1667 and continued until 1700. The Thaler was a standardized silver coin that was used throughout the German States and was equivalent to 32 Groschen or 480 Pfennig. The coin was designed to facilitate trade and commerce across the region, and it featured an image of the ruling monarch on one side and the coat of arms of Brandenburg-Prussia on the other. The Thaler was an important part of the economy of the time and was widely used for transactions and trade.
