Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1641 during the reign of Frederick William, was made of silver and weighed 29.07 grams. This coin was significant because it was one of the first standardized coins introduced by the Brandenburg-Prussian state, which helped to simplify trade and commerce across the region. Prior to this, various regions within the Holy Roman Empire had their own distinct coinage systems, which often made trade and commerce more complicated. The introduction of the 1 Thaler coin helped to establish a standardized system of currency across the region, which facilitated economic growth and development.
