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 1650. He was a prominent figure in German history and played a significant role in the development of the region. The coin's design was likely meant to honor him and solidify his legacy.
