Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it features an image of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who was the ruler of Brandenburg-Prussia from 1645 to 1647. He was a prominent figure in German history and is credited with laying the foundations for the future Prussian state. The coin's design was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a leader.
