Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Brandenburg-Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great change and transformation in the region. The coin was issued in 1662, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and led to significant political and economic changes. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency in the region, as trade and commerce began to recover and expand.
