Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from 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 its military and political development. The coin's design was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a powerful leader.
