Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia is that it features an image of George William, the ruler of the state, on one side, and an image of the Brandenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during George William's reign from 1628 to 1633 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage at the time.
