Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Prussia, minted during the reign of Frederick William III (1797-1798), was the first coin to feature the iconic Prussian eagle on its obverse side. This eagle design became a symbol of Prussia's military power and was used on many coins throughout the 19th century.
