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 to 1688. He played a significant role in the history of Prussia, and his reign marked the beginning of the state's rise to power and influence in Europe. The coin's design was likely meant to promote his image and reinforce his authority as a powerful leader.
