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 1640 until his death in 1688. He was a key figure in the history of Prussia and played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1651 and 1653, and is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
